Enqury: timing belt's car vs timing chain

[Skyiet27]

Hi all, quite curious about this issue.

 

Those cars on belts, need to change belts, bearings, pump etc

 

Those cars on chains, no need to change bearings and pumps meh???

 

Btw any bros driving Getz 1.3, my fil driving, like to know whether chain or belt?

 

 

 

 

Many thanks

Getz is timing belt, needs to change. For hyundai car, i think only from avante onwards is using timing chain.

Getz on belt. I used to drive it changed during 80k mileage. whole set with pump etc. 300plus with labor.

On chain u still need to change the pump n check on belt for aircon etc.

Thanks for all bros who replied.

 

 

Curious cos my bil jus brought his gd1 fit to ws then they say timing chain, jus do std serivicng

 

and last year my fren jdm accord actually went another ws do timing belt, ws said chain then only do std servicing

 

 

Funny why they never guide change pump etc

chain usually need not change unless it gets really really noisy then you prob need to take a look.

timing chain tensioners need changing

[Chrispie]

chain might requires changing too.

 

Mine was stretched at 40k km, and it was changed under warranty. That will include tensioners too.

For peace of mind and savings on labour charge, change all at one go.

If you never change anything before, better change everything, the belt, water pump etc. Unless you are changing second time, then maybe listen to what advise your mechanic says.
