Timing belt or chain? Check your car by reg
Whether an engine uses a cambelt or a timing chain depends on the engine, not the badge — and often not even on the size. Below are 113 engines that need a belt and 280 that use a chain, researched from manufacturer documentation and parts catalogues, with the replacement interval where one is published.
Enter the registration and we'll match the engine and tell you which it has, when the belt is due and whether it's an interference engine — or find your engine in the lists below.

Three ways this question gets answered wrong
Engine size does not decide it. Fiat's 1.3 MultiJet diesel runs a chain while the 1.6, 2.0 and 2.2 beside it run belts. Mazda's 1.6 and 2.0 diesels are belt-driven where the 2.2 is chain. Suzuki's 1.3 diesel is chain and its 1.6 is belt — the same split as their Fiat parent.
The year does not decide it either. Subaru sold belt-driven and chain-driven engines side by side for a decade: the chain-driven diesel arrived in 2008 while the belt-driven WRX STI stayed on sale until 2018. Capacity is no help there — the belt engine is 1,994cc and the chain engine 1,995cc.
A parts listing can point both ways. Several engines sell both a belt kit and a chain kit against the same engine code, because one drives the camshaft and the other the oil pump. And three manufacturers schedule a belt by name that is not the cam drive at all — Porsche's ancillary belt, Suzuki's accessory belt on the 1.3 diesel, and Jaguar Land Rover's second belt to the fuel pump on the 3.0 TDV6.

Cambelts and chains — FAQs
How do I know if my car has a cambelt or a chain?▾
It depends on the engine, not the badge, and often not even on the size. The same model can have a belt in one engine and a chain in another, and manufacturers have switched mid-generation in both directions — Hyundai's 1.6 diesel went from chain back to belt, while Stellantis replaced the 1.2 PureTech's wet belt with a chain in 2023. Enter the registration at the top of this page and we will narrow it to the engine families that fit your car, or find your engine in the lists below.
What happens if a cambelt breaks?▾
On an interference engine — which most modern engines are — the pistons and valves share the same space at different moments, and the belt is what keeps them apart. If it snaps, they collide, and the usual outcome is a replacement engine rather than a repair. That is why a belt has a replacement date at all, and why it is the single most expensive line item to find missing from a service history.
Do timing chains ever need replacing?▾
Most manufacturers schedule no chain replacement, and the lists below say so where that is what the maker publishes. That is not the same as saying a chain lasts forever: several well-known engines have documented chain or tensioner wear, including BMW's N47 diesel, the earlier VW Group 1.4 TSI and early JLR Ingenium diesels. On those, on-time oil changes in the service record matter more than usual, because chain wear tracks oil condition.
Is a wet belt different from a normal cambelt?▾
Yes. A wet belt runs inside the engine, lubricated by the oil, and is used on engines including Ford's 1.0 EcoBoost, Stellantis' 1.2 PureTech and Honda's 1.0 VTEC Turbo. Because it lives in the oil, the oil specification and on-time changes are part of the belt's service life rather than a separate concern — which makes the service history unusually important on these engines.
Where do these figures come from?▾
Each one is researched from the manufacturer's own UK documentation where it exists, and from parts-maker catalogues or trade sources where it does not. Every line is labelled with how firm it is, and the manufacturer-published ones link to the document they came from. Nothing here has been checked against your individual car, so confirm against the handbook or a franchised dealer quoting the VIN before booking or skipping work.
Every figure above is labelled with how firm it is, and manufacturer-published lines link to the document they came from. Intervals are set per engine and model year, and nobody has checked these against your individual car — treat them as a starting point and confirm against the handbook, the service plan, or a franchised dealer quoting the VIN before booking or skipping work.
Was the belt actually changed?
Knowing the interval is half the answer. The other half is whether the work was done — a cambelt is the most expensive thing to find missing from a service history, and the one buyers ask about first. A full service history check retrieves the manufacturer's own dealer records for a registration, so you can see whether the belt entry is there.
