Does Mercedes C320 Sedan have a timing belt or a chain?

Does Mercedes C320 Sedan have a timing belt or a chain? If timing belt, then at what mileage should it be changed?

All Benz engines, whether gasoline or diesel, use timing chains. There is no recommended replacement for the chains. Most of the time, the chain is good for the life of the engine.

+1 on chains only

if this the straight six 3.2 liter (not V6) it has a dual over head cam 4 valves per cylinder.

Pretty much a bullet proof engine, only problem is the head gasket may leak some oil into the coolant

(after many miles, 150k+) because of tight tolerances in the cylinder head
Chain!!
