Does my 2012 Hyundai i30 petrol need a timing belt change at 100,000km?

Does my Hyundai i30 year 2012 petrol engine need a timing belt change at 100,000km?

Petrol versions of the Hyundai i30 from this era have a rubber, toothed timing-belt. This is a clean, quiet running arrangement, but it does require replacement at 90,000km intervals. The advice is to change the tensioners, associated pulleys and the engine’s water pump at the same time as all these components wear out and are located in the same general area, making it a smart move to do all this work in one hit, rather than pull the engine apart a second time.
