Is the Mondeo chain or belt cam?

I have a 2002 automatic Ford Ghia Mondeo with 2.0TDCi 130 5-TRONIC type 04-22 diesel engine. Does it have a cam belt or chain, what is the recommended mileage for its replacement and is it straightforward or does it involve a major dismantling of the engine?

This is a chain cam engine. All Mondeo III 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.5 and 3.0 petrol and diesel engines were chain cam. Vital to keep the engine oil clean. If you do, the chain will last the life of the car.
