Does the Fiesta ST have a timing belt or timing chain?

Does anyone know if the Fiesta ST uses a timing chain instead of a timing belt?

i would bet on belt.

Thanks, I wondered why they didn't just go with a chain instead. Having a belt is one of the reasons why I ditched my old 2000 Focus.

chain is noisier, belt are prolly cheaper as well
