Hi all , my father has a 1.8 auto petrol.
I was just talking about young guy next door to me got a used 1.6 petrol accent think about 2006 2007 model, low k & he told me he thinks cam chain loose was aski g me for advice, was telling y elceerly father& he said the 1.6 petrol uses a timing belt to drive cams, he also said he tbi ks his 1.8 has a cam drive belt too. I just took it for granted as my two CRDi used a chain cam drive, gbe petrol would be the same. So can anyone tell me what they use?
I know looking i could see as belt never sdaled in like a chain drive as belt need to breath.
So can someone tell me what the 1.6 & 1.8 petrol use thanks

1.8 is definitely timing chain but don't know about 1.6 (assuming the same)
-
1.6ltr petrol in the GD is chain, not sure about earlier FD model :undecided:
Pretty easy to tell if it's belt driven or not, if there is no visible pulleys at the top end of head above drive belt it's chain driven.

FD 2.0L petrol is belt the late 1.6L is the GD design.
