1997 2.0 Megan Scienic timing belt info please

Unread post by watsoft »

The missus has just taken delivery of a 2litre petrol Megan Scienic RXE...which compared to her 1995 1.1litre rusty Fiesta is absolute luxury.

I'm pretty sure it's overdue a timing belt change, but on a quick visual inspection I wasn't sure if it ran on a timing belt or a timing chain.

Could anyone tell me which it is and offer any advice regarding changing one (if it is a timing belt). I have had no problems changing them on my Nova and Saxo in the past (and the Saxo's done 180,000miles...so I can almost do it with my eyes shut) using the Haynes manual...but there's no substiture for other people's hints and tips!

Thanks in advance for any advice.
