Chain or belt for the Santa Fe?

Chain or belt for the Santa Fe?

Is the Hyundai Santa Fe,2011 model cam belt or chain please, if belt when should it be changed?

Our answer:

Hi Dave,

Most versions of that generation Santa Fe used a timing chain, but there was a 2.2 CRDi diesel engine (codenamed D4EB-V) made between 2006 and 2010 that had a timing belt, so check the engine code if you can, as it's possible it made its way into a car registered in 2011. For the record, the change interval is 160,000km or every 10 years. For 'adverse conditions' the belt needs to be changed more regularly - every 80,000km or 2.5 years.
