Timing belt cover
No. The timing belt is not plastic.
if the front coveris plastic it is a belt/ if the front cover is metal it will be a chain
Remove the valve cover
NO there is NOT one definitive answer. It depends on the year and engine size. It could have a chain or a belt. Check the timing cover, if its plastic its belt, if its cast metal its chain.
Behind the light gray plastic timing belt cover (driver's side), it is driven by the timing belt.
On the driver side of the motor under the plastic cover.
If it has 1 then it is located behind the plastic cover on the front of the engine.
No , both the 2.4 liter four cylinder engine and the 2.7 liter V6 engines in a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe use a timing BELT ( there will be a " plastic " cover over the timing belt )
Look at the end of the engine where the belts are. The whole end of the engine is protected by a black plastic cover-well, two of them actually. The timing belt is inside that cover.
There is one on the timing belt plastic cover and it's a scale from 0 to 15, another park is on the engine body behind the camshaft pulley. The hole in the camshaft pulley must align with the mark on the engine body and zero on the timing belt plastic cover.
One timing belt and behind it is probably a smaller balancer shaft belt which should be replaced with the timing belt. I would say its on the left side of the motor with a plastic cover over it.
It probably has a belt, not a chain, but chains are in the same location.The timing belt is located under the timing cover. The timing cover is the plastic or metal cover at the front of the engine (the side where the fan belts are).This vehicle has an interference engine, which means that the valves can be damaged if the timing belt breaks or gets out of sync. This job should be done by a professional only.
