List of brands and models of cars with a timing chain

When choosing a car, sooner or later, having made a decision on all the pros and cons - you will come to the question - Chain or toothed belt timing belt? In order to make it easier to make a choice - in this article we provide a list of makes and models of cars that are equipped with a timing chain. But first, let's look at the issue a little deeper. What is a Timing Chain and what is a Timing Belt. What are the disadvantages and advantages of each solution. And at the end, we will provide you with a complete list of makes and models of cars that are equipped with a toothed belt and timing chain.

In the automotive industry, the timing chain for connecting the crankshaft to the camshaft has been used since 1910. Only since the 1980s years, when plastic and rubber parts appeared - the metal timing chain was often replaced with a rubber (or polyurethane, or rubber) timing belt.

What is a timing chain and what is a timing belt?

Valve train chain is to do the engine of the car, which is in engine car and synchronizes its various parts so that they can work in sync. The timing chain transmits the movement crankshaft distributive rampart and consists of many metal links like a bicycle chain. The design of the timing chain allows it to be connected to various gears and wheels. The timing chain may be single, double or triple depending on what model of car you are talking about.

Timing belt - Like the timing chain, it is a component of an automobile engine that acts as a transmission to drive the camshaft at half speed and in sync with the crankshaft.

Timing chain or belt - similarities and differences

Automotive internal combustion engines use four clock cycles to complete the combustion process (shock, compression, fuel and exhaust). During the process, the camshaft rotates once, and the crankshaft rotates twice. The relationship between the rotation of the camshaft and the crankshaft is called “mechanical synchronization”. For the engine to work properly, the movement of the pistons and cylinders must work synchronously, and it is during this time that the timing chains or timing belts are responsible.

Simply put, the function that both the timing chain and the belt in the car perform is absolutely identical and includes the synchronization of the pistons and cylinders in the engine so that it can operate smoothly and efficiently.

Features of the timing chain and belt

✔️ Timing Chain Advantages

  • Timing chain durability is its biggest advantage. Due to its reliability and wear resistance, the timing chain does not require replacement. The timing chain will last as long as your engine.
  • The timing chain does not require maintenance, except for a check at a mileage of 200 kilometers.
  • Unlike the rubber that makes up the timing belt, the metal of the timing chain is as resistant to temperature extremes as possible.

❌ Timing Chain Disadvantages

  • The rotation of the chain is less smooth compared to a toothed belt, which dampens vibrations.
  • A timing chain weighs more than a toothed belt. This results in increased fuel consumption (higher environmental pollution). In addition, the extra weight affects the performance of the engine.
  • A running timing chain makes much more noise than a timing belt.
  • The price of a timing chain is much higher than that of a timing belt.
  • Since the timing chain consists of metal links, it must be constantly lubricated engine oil.

Why Manufacturers Use Timing Chain

A large number of manufacturers and owners continue to prefer timing chains. Why? The truth is that major car manufacturers prefer to rely on timing chains, especially on turbocharged cars or cars in the higher price range. Manufacturers such as BMW, Opel, Volkswagen, Ford, Peugot, Mercedes and many others equip many of their models with timing chains, and the main reason for doing so is that the chains are much more reliable, the risk of wear or breakage is minimal and they can withstand much higher load than timing belts.

Why Use Timing Chain

Brands of cars with timing chain. Peculiarities.

The use of a Timing Chain or Timing Belt largely depends on the country and the regulations adopted by each automaker in different regions.

GM Chevrolet

GM is well known for their timing belts in almost all of their cars, but there are exceptions. Engines Ecotec и V6 3.6, that are installed in the Omega and Captiva models are excellent car models that use a timing chain instead of a belt.  

So, if yours is different from the models mentioned above, your Chevrolet uses a timing belt system in its internal mechanism.

Ford

All modern Ford engines, unlike GM, use a timing chain drive system. So, if the most fashionable car is a FORD, you can be a little calmer about this part, since the chain rarely fails, but at the first sign of noise in the part, immediately contact the workshop for diagnostics.

Honda

Honda also prefers Timing Chain -  all Honda engines  use timing chains to control valves and other parts.

Jeep

Jeep uses a chain or timing belt depending on each specific engine. You can also find cars that use a timing belt and cars that use a Timing Chain, it all depends on each specific model. 

Nissan

Nissan is among the automakers that are avoiding the timing belt. The timing chain is used in almost all of their engines, with the exception of the Livina 1.6, which has a timing belt, because it is from Renault.

Renault

Renault also uses a timing chain system for its vehicles in most cases and eschews the timing belt. But in this Renault is similar to Jeep. We emphasize that  it all depends on the model and engine.. If you have a Renault, see the car's registration certificate or contact a mechanic.

Toyota

Toyota also prefers to use timing chains in all of its engines instead of timing belts. In some countries, you will not find cars of this brand with belts, but only with a timing chain.

Volkswagen

Just like GM, Volkswagen chooses a timing belt for most of its vehicles, with the rare cases where the automaker sticks to a timing chain system in any model.

What car models have a timing chain?

Before we begin, we must tell you that the list does not pretend to be exhaustive, but at least it will give you basic guidelines if you want to drive a car with a timing chain. Below is a list of car models that are equipped with a timing chain for each of the car brands.

Why Some Cars Have a Timing Chain Instead of a Timing Belt
Why do some cars have a timing chain and others have a timing belt

How easy is it to find out if a car has a timing chain?

If you don't go through long lists of models and brands, you can just open the hood of the car you like and take a look. If there is a plastic cover on the side, left or right side of the engine, it means that the car has a belt. If you do not see such a thing, then the car has a timing chain.

List of brands and models of cars with a timing chain

What car models have problems with the timing chain?

SsangYong Action
SsangYong Action - G20 gasoline engine, 2 liter volume, 149 hp The village is a second-generation Korean SUV model. It is stylish and extremely elegant, but unfortunately its weak point is the timing chain, which only lasts about 70000 km.

Volkswagen Tiguan
Popular crossovers of the previous generation Volkswagen Tiguan in the original configuration were equipped with a power of 122 hp. page 1.4 TSI turbo engine. Unfortunately, the owners of these versions of the Volkswagen Tiguan experienced the whims of the timing chain, which, even with the slightest wear, “slipped” and missed the lower stage of the crankshaft gearbox.

Volkswagen engineers struggled with this problem for a long time and to some extent managed to increase the life of the timing chain from 60 to 000 km, but in the end they decided to replace the new generation Tiguan engine.

Audi A3
Owners of a used Audi A3 with 1,2-liter TFSI turbo engines experience the same problems with the timing chain, which “slips” or breaks at a distance of about 60 km.

Skoda Fabia
This small, maneuverable car comes with a wide range of engines, but among them all stands out a 1,2-liter 3-cylinder gasoline engine, which is known for its efficiency. The only drawback of this engine is that the working limit of the timing chain is 90000 km.

Skoda Octavia
The second generation A5 with a 1,8-liter turbo engine rated at 152 hp with. and torque of 250 Nm. This Skoda model has very good grip and high performance, and everything would have been great if it hadn't been for its low reliability due to the chain component of the drive.

And before we finish, all we had to do was make a quick comparison between the cars on the timing chain and the cars with the belt.
If at this moment you expect us to tell you whether to stop choosing a car with a belt or chain, we will disappoint you because we will not. We will not do this, insofar as while car manufacturers produce both components to synchronize the engine drive, the discussion of the topic: "Timing chain or belt" remains relevant, and there is no definite answer. Therefore, we will not express our opinion, we will simply compare the car with a chain and a belt, and you will decide which option is more profitable and convenient for you.

So…

List of brands and models of cars with a timing chain

It has already become clear which car models have a timing chain, and if you decide to choose one of these models, you will get the following benefits:

Of course, in this case you will have to take into account that:

If you stop on a car with a timing belt, you will win:

The disadvantages of timing belts are:

Questions and answers:

Which is better: a chain or a timing belt? The answer to this question lies in the characteristics of the belt and chain. Each drive has both advantages and disadvantages. Despite the relatively small working life (although some models of belts are significantly superior in this indicator to some modifications of the chains), the belt is cheaper to replace. The chain has a much lower risk of breaking. More attention should be paid not to the type of drive, but to how reliable the gas distribution mechanism itself and the power unit are.

What causes timing chain problems? The timing drive itself is a fairly reliable element of the power unit, but subject to timely maintenance. The chain tension directly depends on the oil pressure in the engine lubrication system. When maintenance is carried out, it is necessary to change or repair even the smallest part associated with the mechanism. The displacement of the valve timing is one of the consequences of an extended timing chain.

Are there any symptoms of an impending timing chain problem? An increase in the noise of the engine (the appearance of a rumble or knocks that increase with increasing speed), the destruction of the timing protection cover, a poor reaction of the power unit to pressing the gas pedal - all this is the reason to pay attention to the condition of the timing chain. But the most reliable parameter that allows you to prevent the failure of the timing drive is compliance with the maintenance schedule, as well as the good condition of the internal combustion engine lubrication system.

    And this chain car does not have a water pump? Replacing it with the strap is total marketing !!

    And Mazda? After all, the vast majority of Mazda has a timing chain. I think all gasoline ones.

    It is not true that changing the belt costs little, usually you go from 400 to 600 euros, and you have to do it several times if you want to keep a car for more years while the chain lasts as long as the engine

    I have worked on several models of old engine designs driven by timing chains. I can assure you that changing a distribution chain is not that complicated. That it is even very simple. For new cars some models are probably more complex, but nothing to worry about. However, it is wrong to say that a distribution chain is noisy. Whether it's an American from the 50s / 60s / 70s / 80s / 90s where nowadays the engine is very quiet, like the Rolls Royce, Bmw, or Mercedes. Namely that timing belts have entered the automotive market simply for profit for some automaker. The fact of changing them every 5 years, so for some people having to go to the garage to pay the addition. The truth is, the distribution chains were cheap, almost indestructible. If you have a model with timing chains, and on the road you hear a metal noise in your engine, this means that your tensioner is exhausted and that you will have to change your chain including the tensioner as soon as possible. Advantage the chain will tell you and it's noisy. But the belt will do nothing to see that it is a simple belt of rubber and kevlar. To give you an idea if you respect the engine oil changes, a timing chain can do up to 650000 km. Cordially.

    good morning i have a ford escort hobby 95 and the engine is very good and great this engine in 2013 complete and i walk every day after work with it the chain of command is starting to make a little noise now but because it has spent all this time and it just started knocking now because I readjusted the tensioner regulator you know and like a ratchet that keeps giving the tensioner I opened but its teeth so that it was but catches. I always had a car with a timing belt but it just kept breaking but then that i buy this car i thought it better not that it is a big car but the escort and the opal i had as my friends said this car goes up to the wall it sounds very good engines.

    The PT Cruiser has a belt, not a chain.

    Many Hyundai products have a chain.

    All cars should have a chain. because changing the belt is very expensive. I prefer a car per chain, they should be done only by chain.
