VOLVO V40Timing chain or Belt?

The Volvo V40 is a C-segment car from the Swedish marque Volvo. The V40 has two generations in total, fulfilling a different function within the brand each time:

The first generation V40 was built on the same platform as the Mitsubishi Carisma. It was sold mainly with gasoline engines, being offered in Europe with a 1.9 turbo engine. Most of the gearboxes of this family car were provided by the Renault Group.

In 2012, Volvo Cars brought back the V4, now transformed into a hatchback, although without losing the family car aesthetics —something similar to what happened with the Volvo C30 it replaced—. The second-generation V40 was built on the Global C platform. It used Ford, PSA and Ford engines. The model was redesigned in 2016 to homogenize the design in line with the rest of the cars of the Swedish marque.

This V40 was also available in Cross Country bodywork, i.e. crossover. This model had panels that protected the bodywork and more advanced technology. It was also equipped with more powerful engines than the normal version.
