We have the same car, and it has a timing chain.
That would be a timing chain for this car.
if the timing belt is broke, then the car wont start. and u probably bent a bunch of valves.
Run a compression test. If compression in all cylinders is low, it's probably the timing chain.
If you can drive the car, the timing belt isn't broken. An engine will not start or run with a broken cam belt.
Timing chain
You can find out if a car has a timing belt or chain at www.timingchainorbelt.com web site.
a timing chain last longer than a timing belt... a lot longer.
the first question is what caused the hole? did the timing chain break and hit the cover, second is it a 2.4 liter engine?
It has a timing chain. Normally they will last for at least 150,000 miles or longer. If it becomes noisy or car is hard to start, backfires, or performance is sub-par have it checked.
If your car has the 2.8V6 it has a timing chain. If your car has the 2.54 cylinder engine it has timing gears. Neither has a timing belt or the problems that come with one.
