Remember that if that chain goes, it can do severe damage to your engine... I'd rather take the time to change it, then push it to the limit and risk engine destruction. Its not an incredibly difficult job, and its better than the alternative.

PS Mine was changed at 240k, and it needed it.

I agree, mine was replaced at 212k about half a year after I got the car (had 207,128 when I got it), it had about 3 degs of stretch I think....nice new one been hummin' away in there the past 20k....its a very comforting thing.
