Belt or chain in this Suzuki Vitara?

Hi, I’m about to buy a Suzuki Vitara 2019 1l booster jet, reg YE19 OMU. Does this have a timing chain or belt? And do I need to replace it every 3 years ? Thanks

Our answer:

Hi Abbie,

That engine uses a timing chain, and no, it does not need to be replaced every three years. In fact, it's designed for the life of the engine.
