Mazda 6 - Is my Mazda 6 belt or chain driven?

[theymademedoit]

Hi,

I just bought a 2002 Mazda 6 2L TS petrol yesterday.

It’s got 62k on it but the service history was not good.

I checked out all the DVLA records on the MOT’s and it all ties in.

It’s a great looking car and is immaculate in and out and sounds awesome.

My question is does this have a Cam belt or is it chain driven?

I really need to know so I can plan to get it done soon.

Also when I was driving into my work car park, I was taking it slow and when I turned the steering wheel left there was a sort of squeaking sound, a bit like brakes squeaking.

Any ideas what this could be?

It's chain as far as im aware of.

Basically the same engine as the 2.0 Mondeo of this vintage. As such it has a chain and needs no maintenance although the chain tensioner pad on my Mondeo rattled slightly at around 1850rpm.

This. You have a thread in Jap Chat. As has been pointed out your car has more in common with a Mondeo than an MX5.

And I have the same car, it's a chain...
