Joey, Diesel timing chains can last any given amount of time. I would have the chain checked pre-purchase and determine if replacement is necessary. On both of my diesels, I am still going on the original timing chains. The 240D at 300K and my 300SD at 170K. As a rule of thumb, diesel timing chains tend to last much longer than gasoline engine chains. Hope this helps! ------------------ Rgds, Aaron Greenberg MB technician '67 250SE Cabriolet '77 450SL '79 6.9 '79 6.9 '80 300SD '81 240D '85 380SE '89 420SEL '93 300E 2.8 |
