Timing Chain (Not a Cam Belt) Engine: 1.6L petrol Automatic Timing system: Uses a timing chain Transmission: 7-speed automatic (7G-DCT dual-clutch in most models) What to Know: Timing chains are generally durable and long-lasting, often for the life of the engine. However, if you hear rattling sounds at start-up or idle, it could indicate chain or tensioner wear — rare, but possible if maintenance is neglected. Regular oil changes with high-quality oil are key to keeping the timing chain healthy. You're all good — no belt replacement intervals to worry about on this one.
