340 1.4 DL, Belt or Chain?

Post by stevenc75 » 25 Oct 2006 01:30 pm

Something just occured to me. Does a 1.4 340 have a timing belt or a chain?

Being 18 years old if it's a belt I'd better get it changed pronto. I'm not with the car just now so can't check and I'm sure you lot will know anyway. :)

Very conventional the B14 - lf it had a dry liner block and an iron head it would be an 'A' series.
