When to Replace the Timing Chain on a Nissan X-Trail 2.0 dCi

The timing system on this Nissan model uses a chain rather than a belt: there is no specific maintenance schedule for this type of timing system as there is for a timing belt, which should be replaced every 75,000 miles or 5 years; the chain, operating constantly in an oil bath, does not suffer from the usual wear and deterioration issues. With regular maintenance, it generally does not need replacing; however, it may stretch or the sliding pads may wear out, causing noise, especially during cold start: in this case, it will need replacing, usually occurring at a mileage exceeding 124,000 miles.
