Hi, I would like to know if my car is timing belt or chain and if it is an interference or non interference engine? Just in case a belt or chain went while I was driving. Not ready to change it yet. If it is a belt but at 125,000 klm or 77 thousand miles it is getting close to change time.

It has a timing belt and SOHC OR DOHC are both interference engines. I know yours is a 1.9, but they made a single and twin cam. Again, both are interference engines.
