Many say the double chains should last the life of the engine - my M104 6 cyl is at over 250K miles and on the original chain.

What, what, what. You did say it was a Mercedes??

RayH, yes and a much loved Mercedes. It just doesn't make any sense for this to have happened at such a low milage engine. I believe it is a double chain but I'm yet to go to the workshop and have a look at the damage.

Mechanic says that the timing chain guide is what failed.
