Hello Lindsay Hovanec,

Never-mind what's quiet.

Chain... Rockauto.com failed me...!!
(it's gotta be me (they're usually pretty good)).

Ford forum says Chain...

eBay querie for "BELT" returns CHAIN...

I'm inclined to say CHAIN...

2012 Accent active. Does this model have a timing belt or timing chain.

twin cam, dual variable timing, direct injection, roller timing chain and no timing belt, its really not recommended to change the chain as it will be a costly thing to do, as long as the oil is changed regularly it should last the hole engines lifetime, the only part that should be changed is the plastic runners and adjuster as thee do were and give out a lot of timing slap.

Does a 2005 cavalier have a timing belt or chain 2.2 and when do I change it?

This 2.2 Liter engine uses a Timing chain, timing chains are never replaced unless the engine is being overhauled, there is no periodic replacement required like a Timing belt. Engines that use chains are much more durable than those that use belts and last longer per dollar spent on maintenance costs. I wish I had a dollar for every ruined engine due to a failed rubber timing belt.

Is 80000 miles the correct mileage for changing the timing belt(or chain} on a 2006 kia sedona lx v6 van? thanks

The 3.8 liter in the 2006 actually has a timing chain not a belt. So the chain doesn't need to replace what you may run into down the road is the tensioners having a problem as their is basically 3 chains in that engine. I would still take chains over belts any day though.
thank you and enjoy,
Lee

Timing chain or belt?

The 2002-2006 Camry received the next generation 2.4L 4-cylinder engine (model 2AZ-FE), which combines decent power with excellent fuel economy. This engine does not have a timing belt, it has a chain that does not need to be replaced.
The second choice is very smooth and powerful 3.0-liter 24-valve all-aluminum V6 engine.
Starting from 2004, the 3.3-liter V6 DOHC VVT-i engine is available on SE V6 model.
Both, the 3.0L and 3.3L V6 engines have a timing belt that must be replaced at certain interval
