The Kia Picanto comes equipped with a durable timing chain instead of a less dependable timing belt. Unlike a timing belt that requires regular inspection and replacement annually, the timing chain is designed to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle, typically between 10 to 15 years or 100,000 to 150,000 miles. The warranty on your Kia may include coverage for the timing chain for the first 10 years or 100,000 miles. If replacement is necessary, you can anticipate spending between $80 and $249 for parts only.

    It varies by year - the MK1 model from 2004 to 2007 has a belt, while the MK2 model from 2008 to 2011 has a chain. I think the newer models also come with a chain.
