What to check when buying a used Hyundai Getz timing chain
A used timing chain that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does the Hyundai Getz have a timing chain or a timing belt?
The Hyundai Getz uses a timing belt (cambelt) on all of its UK-market engines, including the 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.6 petrol units, as well as the 1.5 CRDi diesel — none of these engines use a timing chain. If you need the component that drives your camshaft, you should be searching for a timing belt or cambelt kit instead. Breakers will be well stocked with these for the Getz, so searching for the correct part by engine code will get you the right result.
I've been quoted a timing chain for my Getz — could the breaker be referring to something else?
It is very likely there has been a mix-up in terminology, as no Hyundai Getz variant sold in the UK was fitted with a timing chain. The part you almost certainly need is a timing belt (cambelt), and breakers may also refer to the full kit which includes the belt, tensioner, and idler pulleys. When contacting a breaker, quote your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check to make sure you receive the correct belt and associated components for your specific engine.
Will a timing belt from a 2002–2005 Getz fit a 2005–2009 facelift Getz?
The Getz ran in its original form from 2002 to around 2005, with a facelifted version carrying through to 2009, and while the engine families are closely related across this span, whether a timing belt from the pre-facelift car crosses over to the facelift depends entirely on the engine code rather than the model year alone. Provide your engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — to the breaker, and they can confirm whether the belt from a donor vehicle with the same code is a direct match. Do not assume that a matching engine size (for example, both being 1.4) guarantees the same belt, as specification changes can occur mid-production.
Does the trim level affect which timing belt I need for my Getz — for example, does it matter if mine is a Base, GSi, or CDX?
Trim level makes no difference whatsoever to which timing belt your Getz requires — Base, GSi, and CDX are specification levels covering interior and equipment choices, not mechanical differences. What determines the correct timing belt is solely your engine code and fuel type, so a CDX and a Base car sharing the same engine code will take identical belts. Strip the trim badge out of your thinking entirely and lead with your engine code when speaking to a breaker.
My Getz is a 1.6 petrol — does it definitely use a timing belt and not a chain?
Yes, the 1.6 petrol Getz uses a timing belt, not a timing chain, in line with all other Getz engine variants. When sourcing a used belt or full cambelt kit from a breaker, confirm your exact engine code from the V5 or a VIN check, as there can be more than one variant of a given engine size and the code ensures you get the correctly specced belt. A good breaker will cross-reference your registration or engine code before supplying the part.
Can I use a timing belt from a diesel Getz on a petrol Getz of the same year?
No — the 1.5 CRDi diesel engine and the petrol engines in the Getz are entirely different units with different timing belt specifications, and parts from one will not fit the other. Fuel type is one of the most fundamental fitment factors for mechanical engine parts, and mixing diesel and petrol components here would be incorrect regardless of the year or mileage of the donor car. Always quote both your fuel type and engine code to the breaker to avoid being supplied the wrong belt.
