My car has a timing chain, what is the replacement interval for it?

"With normal use, a timing chain should last the entire lifespan of the car and does not need to be replaced."

Hello, Is there a timing belt and a timing chain for the engine of this car? I have the car in service because there was a suspicious noise from the distribution. The service people told me that the engine has two camshafts and between them there is a chain and a tensioner that causes the noise, is this true? I would be very grateful if you could give me an answer! Thank you!

Scuzati mâ, câ nu verbesc Romaneśti. Not to change you distribution chain within the timeframe prescribed by your manufacturer, is a recipe for disaster. When a distribution chain breaks it will often destroy the cylinder valves in your engine, beyond repair. A new engine costs around €5000. Please do NOT believe all the stupid things that Google's robots are replying to you; They are robots working on algorithms, not car mechanics. You have the advantage that work hours in Romania are cheaper!

Change the control chain, after how many kilometers?

I am happy that Annette is well-founded in her investment in FIATs. So that you can continue driving after a few kilometers, or if you wish, the Motor Distribution Sketch is now available. In the Netherlands, it costs between €500 and €700, depending on the duration of the work. Power man is not, then you can cause damage to the motor, in the direction of € 5000, but of course the Ventile or the Zylinderkklappen will open the motor at full load.

To be precise, it is not true that "With normal use the timing belt should last the entire life of the car and does not need to be replaced." In the use and maintenance manual it is written that for prevalent use in NON-DUSTY AREAS it must be replaced every 120,000 km and in any case every 6 years regardless of the mileage, while in DUSTY OR URBAN AREAS it must be replaced every 60,000 km or every 4 years regardless of the mileage.

Essatto, RINO, cosi è. La stupidità degli sistemi "artificial intelligence" non conosce limite, paura... :-( Non pagarà Google le danni di un traduzione automatica mal fatto, poi la gente devi aprendere a pensare meglio!
