The 1.5 does have a belt. Some of them (either early or late can't remember which way round) have a short chain that links the 2 Cams, but they still have a belt. If the mechanic took the head cover off he/she would have seen either or both

| Post subject: | Cam belt/chain? |
Newbie here, so please excuse my ignorance! I've just bought a 1998 'S' reg 323F LXi 1.5 16v DOHC. It has no service history, done 43K miles and I wanted to book it in for a replacement cam belt for piece of mind. It's just come back from a full service, and when I asked the mechanic about fitting a new cam belt he said I wouldnt need to as its got a cam chain rather than a belt. Is this right, does this model have a chain? Hope you can help! Thanks Jay |
