Does my Hyundai belt need changing?

Does my Hyundai belt need changing?

I have a 2009 Hyundai 1.2 comfort. My independent garage informs me that I am going to need a new timing belt at the next service. Is this true?

Our answer:

Hi Lee,

You've not told us the model, but we looked up both the i10 and the i20 and the 1.2-litre engines in those use timing chains, not belts. The chains would not normally be changed during a service unless a fault was detected.
