[RossMateee]

Hello I have a Mercedes c180(w202) a 1.8 automatic and not sure wether it is a chain or a belt, it is too much hassel to take everything apart to tell so not sure?

Interesting to know, which Mercedes Model is timing belt driven?
My understanding is, all Mercedes engines is chain driven?

 

[markjay]

As far as I know only some of the very new (Renault? PSA?) engine offering have timing belt, everything else is chain.

Its the OM607 engine which is derived from the Renault K9K 846 – found also in the Dacia Lodgy and Renault Mégane

Yes. The new 1.5 Litre Diesel A Classes are belt driven.
