When to replace the timing chain on a Hyundai or Kia vehicle

Model: Hyundai Hyundai Various
Part: Timing belt

In this video we can see what is the right interval for replacing the timing chain of Kia and Hyundai cars; the manuals talk about a lifetime contract, so it should never be necessary to replace them, but according to the YouTuber (and we can't blame him) lifetime contracts do not exist. First of all, the timing can be varied in order to obtain more torque, more power and a more efficient engine. We know that BMWs have had problems with the chain at 70/80,000 kilometers, even though chains in general have a lifetime warranty; this is because the guides are still made of plastic, and they burn with heat, causing the chain to loosen. In fact, on BMWs they are changed more or less at this mileage, or even earlier to be safe. On Hyundai cars, the tensioners fail around 130,000 kilometers; on these cars there are two chains, one is very short and does not easily stretch, but the YouTuber recommends also changing the guides and the tensioner, and the camshaft sprockets, because if the teeth are worn, it will also negatively affect the new chain. If you drive many kilometers in the city, it is better to anticipate the replacement at 100,000 kilometers.
