Title: 2012 Hyundai i30 SX Manual MY11 1.6L DIESEL CHAIN OR BELT?
Post by: Kirsty_Kat on September 22, 2021, 12:08:37

Hello,

I am looking at purchasing a 2012 Hyundai i30 SX Manual MY11 1.6L diesel in Australia for a family member.
Does anyone know if this has a timing belt or chain?

Thank you.

Kirsty

Hi  and  :wlcome01: (on behalf of your family member ;))

There's plenty of chat about this on the boards but unless I'm mistaken, only the 2.0L (2007/2008) models had the elastic band as a timing belt :D

Certainly here in the UK anyway.
