Does the Kia have a timing belt or chain?

Kia vehicles can come with either a timing chain or a timing belt depending on the engine that is in the vehicle. All of the modern Kia engines come with a timing chain on the engine as standard though. A timing chain is a better option than a belt because it should not need to be replaced. Usually a timing belt will need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles and a chain should be able to last over 300,000 miles. You should still check Your timing chain at least once a year to make sure that there are no problems with it and that it is not loose. You will also want to make sure that there is not any debris on the chain.
