The timing chain of a car is considered a consumable material, meaning that it must be replaced when it reaches a specific working deadline. In our video tutorial, we show where it is located, so all that's left is to proceed with the intervention: opening the engine hood, the upper cover of the engine and the chain itself are removed, then the tensioner is loosened and finally the chain is extracted from its seat. Paying close attention to the perfect correspondence of the replacement to be installed, the assembly and repositioning of the previously mentioned protective covers is carried out.
