Hi there im new to the forum i bought a 04 plate Ep3 type r 3 weeks ago and it has just done 93k was wondering if anyone knows when the timing chain shud be changed ?
Cheers Aaron.
 
The timing chain is designed to last the life of the engine as long as the service schedule is followed.
 
Yes it is, however in the old servicing schedule I believe they were to be changed at 100k miles, but they stopped this. Saying that I hear from tuners that a lot of cars are coming in with a stretched chain at this sort of mileage, if it was me I would be getting it done if I was nearing 100k miles, for peace of mind more than anything.
