The 1.6L 4Cylinder 2005 HyundaiAccent has a timing belt installed. The timing belt is located outside the engine of the vehicle and can crack or dry up after a fairly short amount of time. The timing chain on the other hand is lubricated through the oil inside the engine itseLFAnd can last for longer periods of time. The timing belt is recommended to be replaced after every 60,000 miles whereas the timing chain is usually replaced after at least 120,000 miles. The new models of the Accent are actually equipped with a timing chain instead of the belt in the older models such as this one. While the timing belts are much cheaper to produce, they can only last for a short period of time before they have to be replaced. This is why manufacturer's are moving to chains.
