Kia Ceed diesel - cam belt or chain?
Does my 2017 Kia Ceed diesel have a timing chain? Does it use additives to keep the soot particulates down? Does it need regular longer runs to keep any soot catalyst from blocking up?

1.6 diesel uses a timing chain. It also has a DPF, which needs at least 15 miles (per trip) to reach optimum operating temperature and burn off the boot. As a result, the car will need regular runs of 15 miles or more to prevent the DPF from clogging up.
