Does the Hyundai Kona have a timing belt or chain?

The Hyundai Kona is equipped with a timing chain, which is covered under the 100,000-mile / 10-year powertrain warranty. In most cases, this part never needs to be replaced, but there are definitely exceptions. The most common symptom of loose or failing chain is rattling noise in the engine compartment. Much like a bicycle chain, this part is in constant motion, so friction can cause small pieces to break off. This is why oil is so important to Your engine as it lubricates and reduces friction. This part is responsible for synC-HRonizing the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. It's important that the timing remain accurate at all times because these sprockets control the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves when the engine fires. If it breaks, expensive damage can be resulted. The average cost to have the timing chain replaced in the Kona is $560 to $680, including labor.
