W202 200 sport-cambelt?

[ricky s]

I am just in the throws of possibly selling the wifes W202 C200 sport auto, 97 plate pre face lift. The guy intrested in it, is asking me to weather the cambelt has been replaced, it has a full MB service history, done 65K. Unfortunatly I know nothing about cars, bar my liking for them, could anyone tell me to weather this engine has, or has not a cambelt, and if so at what mileage would MB replace it. Appreciate anyones help with this.

I am pretty sure 99.9% that you have NOT got a cambelt...you have a timing chain.

Yes chain should be good for 130000 mls if engine oil and filter are changed on time, hope this helps.
