The main instructions provided in this guide will give us some advice regarding the replacement of the timing chain of the Mercedes C-Class 180; on this type of engine, the manufacturer recommends a visual inspection around 250,000 kilometers, even though the chain is of the "full life" type and should be replaced especially if there are any noises.
