Yes, I can rephrase that for you. Does the 2008 Hyundai Elantra use a timing belt or a timing chain for its engine?

In 2008, the Hyundai Elantra features a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with a timing belt. While many manufacturers and drivers prefer a timing chain, the belt works perfectly fine, needing occasional maintenance. It's recommended to replace the belt every 60,000 to 80,000 miles at the minimum. You can look out for symptoms like engine ticking noises, increased smoke from the exhaust, or difficulty starting the vehicle, which may indicate a worn-out belt.
