If you don't know the history, change it and the water pump ASAP. Actually, I'd change them anyway for peace of mind! If a smelly oil burner (diseasel) then IIRCC it's a chain. Hope that helps Edited: Oops... Where are my manors?! Welcome to the forum

(If it is a 2.2 then make sure you have the water pump done at the same time) and welcome to the forum
