Hi from the UK,
does anyone know for certain whether a Mazda 6 sport (2300cc)2003 has a timing chain or belt? I've had a strange problem with a dealership. They told me when I bought the car2006that it didn't need a cam belt change at 60,000 miles because it uses a CHAIN. After the engine stopped on the road, they have said theBELT had jumped 2 teeth!!!!!
Which is it?

 

bump. i need to know the answer as well.
in the manual it says chain. but elsewhere ive read it has a belt (which needs replacement)

[>:]DOES ANYONE KNOW?!?! [i have the 2006 2.3L sport]

 

All current Mazda's, at least in North American market, use a timing chain including the 2.3 engine in the 6. Last timing belt Mazda used was the 2.0l engine of the 2004 Tribute.
