When should the timing chain of the car be replaced?
Years

Answer

In most vehicles equipped with a timing chain, which is more durable than the classic timing belt, there is no scheduled replacement as it can easily outlast the engine's lifespan. However, it is still recommended to have it checked and potentially calibrated when reaching around 150,000 km to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
