Would an S reg Peugeot 406 Coupe 3.0 V6 have a cambelt or chain?

Q:

A: GONE ARE THE DAYS OF TIMING CHAINS. 1986 was the last year for a Peugeot chain (205 models xy xw engines). It was TOO strong and lasted forever. Therefore Peugeot could not recommend you change it for 20 quid and labour of 100 quid, every 60,000 miles. Also, in the days of the timing CHAIN, the water pump was easily accessible on the outside of the engine. You didn't have to change it! you could always SEE a problem. Nowadays the water pump is hidden inside, under the timing (cam) belt, and you'd better change it whether it is bad NOW or not. Timing chains......Rest In Peace. Who is the timing chain LOVER that gave me a thumbs down? Sorry, buddy, the marketing $$$-world is passing us by...
