Does my Hyundai i40 have a timing belt?

Recently purchased a 2012 Hyundai i40 CRDi 136 and trying to find out when the timing belt has to be changed. According to a main dealer the car only ever came with a chain. Any information would be great.

Does my Ford Kuga need a new belt now?

Hi,

I have a 2015 Ford Kuga 1.6 with 89,000km on the clock. It's due for its annual service and the Ford Service Centre has suggested that I replace the timing belt during this service. Is it necessary at this stage?
