That sucks

Should I be worried about the timing chain failure on a 95 OM606 with 108K miles on it?> Good service hist, oil changed regularly

YES, I would have the chain checked for stretch especially if the car was made before August 1994!

I think the general rule for the MB V-8 engine is: the chain, guide rails, and oilers should be replaced every 100K miles or 10 years. Seems the chain rarely fails but the plastic guide rails get brittle and break, dropping into the chain and causing major problems.

OM denotes "oel motor" or diesel engine in common english. OM606 is the twin cam 3 liter diesel sold in the last year of the W124 here and in the first few years of the 210.
