★ Top Answer
This 2005 Kia Sorento is equipped with a timing chain, not a belt. A timing chain is made to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle, so if everything goes smoothly, there should not be a need to worry about it. However, it can still get damaged or fail in some instances. If this occurs, you will notice the car quickly overheating. Replacing it will typically cost around $100 for the new part and an additional $100 for labor. When purchasing online, be careful as some retailers may confuse a timing chain with a timing belt by referring to both as a cam belt. Remember that a timing belt will not work, potentially leaving you with a useless part.
