Does it have a belt or a chain?
We've just bought a Skoda Felicia 1.3mpi 2000 (V) for my wife. It has a genuine 30k on the clock despite its age - but does it have a cam belt that I need to change - or does it have a chain? I find different answers on the web.

Should be overhead valve and chain cam.
