Is the Rapid equipped with a timing belt or a timing chain?

[MadisonDella]

Rapid adopts a timing belt design. The timing belt system is also a common configuration of the EA211 engine. Timing belt replacement cycle: Most manufacturers recommend replacing it every 3 years or after driving approximately 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Advantages of timing belts: Timing belts are much more cost-effective than timing chains. The sound of rubber products rubbing against metal is inherently very small, and after passing through the engine compartment sound insulation layer, the noise can be negligible. Additionally, the friction between rubber products and metal must be minimal, and the belt's transmission resistance is low, ensuring the engine's normal power output and acceleration performance.
