    Still not a common fault, but admittedly is a fault that can crop up.


    I have a pre-facelift.

    Take it to a new garage, if they are knowledgeable they will know that the insignia is a cam-belt. Not a cam chain.

    I must admit that was what I thought. But fortunately I googled it before posting and some are cambelt and some camchain


    Pre facelift = cam belt. I know I have physically changed that and the water pump on my own. Engine code AD20DTH, which is the 160 version.


    I believe (but could be corrected as I'm sure will happen) the chains are on the facelift 140 & 170 variants (not the 130/160).
