2015 Twingo 3 TCE - Timing Chain or Belt?

Does anyone know if the 2015 1L TCE has a timing chain or belt?  I have been searching online for the last hour and I am still none the wiser.

    H4B or H4D  or other?

    I think you might be confusing two different engines.
    There's the 1.0 SCE with 70hp (non turbo) known as the H4D or HR10DE
    and
    The 0.9 TCE with 90 hp (with turbo) known as the  H4Bt or the HR09DET.

    Both found their way into the Twingo between 2014 and 2019.

    I believe both engines use a cam chain.

    From 2016 there was a 0.9 TCE with 110 hp that went in the Twingo GT and the auto (EDC).

    If you are thinking of buying one- test drive it on a fast road at speed first. The engine (well ball of mud and road dirt that very few owners can be bothered to dismantle the car to check the levels on :smile: ) in the boot thing makes for a noisy cabin, fine for city driving but very wearying on any longer trips.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))
