Hi Jim,

We can't get quite enough information on the engine based on your reg, unfortunately, as there were a number of different 1.6-litre petrol engines available in 2013.

The non-turbocharged unit uses a timing belt that should be changed at least every 150,000km or 10 years - whichever comes first.

Then the turbocharged engine's belt (179hp) should be changed at least every 150,000km or six years - whichever comes first again.

However, there's another version of the turbocharged engine called SIDI Turbo (170hp or 200hp) and that actually uses a timing chain. That does not have a set replacement schedule.

If you can get us your engine code we can confirm for sure.
