I want to check my cambelt but i dunno where abouts in the engine it is

Its a 1995 GSi and im looking in the haynes book for my old car but its for 97-2000 corsas and it doesnt mention cambelt, only timing belt, are they the same?

Sorry if its a stupid question but usually i just pay someone to do stuff like this

Cheers, James

If you got any service history it should be stated in there. If not best to get it changed anyway as it prob hasnt been done for a while and if it goes then it'll cost a load for all the bent valves etc.
