Does the Ford Fiesta have a cam belt or chain Engine size 1242?

The Ford Fiesta with a 1242 cc engine uses a timing chain instead of a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and can last the entire lifetime of the engine without requiring replacement, unlike timing belts which typically need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles (or every 5 to 7 years, whichever comes first) to prevent engine damage.
