timing belt mystery

[stusutcliffe]

Hi Folks,This looks like a freindly place, new here today.Here is my question ,hope some body can clear this up.
Ive just inherited a 94 , 900cc cinquecento "sx" off my late dad, it goes great, but from past experiences i always get the timing belt changed just to make sure.So i pootled on down to my garage and the 'man' said ' it dont have one mate"apparently it uses a chain, which i guess isnt going to snap in a hurry.its only got 54000 on the clock, do i need to replace anything "just in case" and what is this thing about a "safe" engine? thanks for your time! stu

yes it has a chain, and they are very unlikely to fail compared to a belt, has alot more miles left in it than 50k odd.

just do the usual, drain out the coolant and fill with new coolant, new oil, sparks etc.
