Hi All

can someone point me in the right direction re the timing chain on my 10 year old S40 47000 miles

Does this need to be changed?

or is this only for belt driven

thanks in advance

My take on this[FWIW]is to leave it alone unless it's rattling/beginning to rattle.I had Senators for several years and a XJ6 for 9yrs all had timing chains and I didn't change a single one.
