Ka 1.3 Cam Belt Interval?

[David87]

My girlfriend is looking to buy a Ford Ka in the next couple of weeks, but I can't seem to find the cam belt change interval for cars with the later 1.3 Duratec engine. I'm aware the original 60PS Endura-E engine has a chain, so I'm not even sure if the 70PS Duratec has a belt at all! Any help would be appreciated.

David I'm pretty sure that it doesn't have a belt and that it has a chain instead and that it doesn't ever need changing.

Its a chain but a strange design because its at the gearbox end of the engine!
