Do my Peugeot 308 Sport and Ford Ka have belt or chain-driven cams?

I have two cars: a 2008 Peugeot 308 Sport 120 with 57,800 on the clock and a 2002 Ford Ka 1.3-litre petrol. Do they have a cambelt or chain?

That 120PS 1.6 engine should be chain cam. And all Kas were always chain cam until the current Fiat 500-based model, the 1.2-litre petrol version of which is belt cam. Up to 2002 they had an old pushrod 1.3 petrol engine. From 2003, that same engine was modified to overhead cam, but still chain driven.
