Did all 1.4 340's have ohv so they didnt need cambelts or was there a year / point in time when they changed over to cam belts.

Havent expressed myself so well but you know what I mean?

the chain on the 1.4 usually outlasts the engine, however the possibility is that the chain tensioner spring doesn't deliver the tensioning level, then you'll hear a rattling noise and you feel te distribution chain case vibrating.

this "can" occur beyond 300.000km, but there are b14's with 500.000km on the counter without this problem.
