How and when to replace the timing chain of the Opel Adam

Model: Vauxhall Adam MK 1 - Years 2013-2019

Today we will see the main information useful for disassembling and replacing the timing chain of the Opel Adam; generally, the timing chain should be replaced on this type of engine every 200,000 kilometers, but it is recommended to visually check before reaching that mileage. So, we lift the car and start disassembling and removing the front right wheel; then we remove the fender and disconnect the V-belt, then remove the crankshaft pulley, as shown in the video. Now we access the timing chain, checking its condition, and replacing it if necessary!
