this is what i was told by one of the sales staff who attended the
training course for Myvi launching...!!! as far as i know, Mercedes is using Timing Chain, so anyone can prove this? the door handle is solid also, although the plastic material of the CD player looks cheap.. Overall it is a very good car, value-for-money, especially for lady driver.. |

1.3 K3-VE is timing chain engine as Kembara DVVT and Avanza
but 1.0 EJ-VE is a timing belt engine that is upgrade Version of EJ-DE which used in Kenari/Kelisa. (Note: EJ-VE used in export version of kenari/kelisa before, more 3hp than EJ-DE) Most of the toyota , New Honda, and nissan are using timing chain, nothing special but lower maintain fee as less thing to change!! MB and BMW both using timing chain engine now too, nothing to shouting about too!! |

Well, what a back-date tech they're using. Nowadays, new cars are using
timing belt same like those fan belt but with gigi. The belt is better in the sense that if it breaks it won't harm or break any parts or components around it thus reducing the costlier repairs. are you sure the Beemer and Merces still using timing belt?. If you says that Jap cars likes Toyo or Hondi and Polotong, Kie or others I do believe but not Beemer or Merces lah. |

The new Honda accord,Civic,all Nissan cars,new Toyota
Camry,BMW,Merz,Suzuki swift all are using timing chain...more newer cars are using timing chain as it has less maintenance.New chain has better stress resistance compare to the old one....but be realistic la.How long you intend to keep the a car.If you want to keep more than 10 years...that would not be any problem.But with timing belt...you have to do regular change every 60,000km-80,000km. |
