Does the timing mechanism of the 2014 Hyundai i30 operate with a belt or a chain?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2014 Hyundai i30 is equipped with a timing chain in its 1.4 liter and 1.6 liter engines, whereas the older 2.0 liter engine models used a timing belt. If you had a timing belt, it would have to be inspected every 5,000 miles or every 6 months to make sure it's not damaged and in need of replacement. On the other hand, timing chains eliminate the need for frequent checks as they typically last the lifetime of the vehicle, which can range from 150,000 to 200,000 miles or around 10 to 15 years. The cost of a new timing chain ranges from $80 to $248 for the parts only.
