Default Timing Chain

Hello All,

Can anyone tell me how long you can expect out of a timing chain on an AU XR6 II and when they have to changed?

Cheers

I don't think i've ever seen or heard of a timing chain being replaced in an AU.

I've seen several cabs with over half a million kays on them unopened, so i'd hazard a guess timing chain is something you never ever need to worry about in your AU.

Ive replaced a couple, one had a chain stretch and jump 4 teeth, another broke guides so i replaced the chain anyway
I wouldnt worry about changing one until it fails, both cars where about 180,000kms

I've been told they don't need replacing under normal wear and tear. One of the great things about having an AU.
