EP3 timing chain

I just hit 91k on my ep3. When should I be looking into getting the timing chain replaced.

Cheers
 
Depends on condition really, it's not a 'free fit' of a job when doing the timing chain.

If the EP3 been maintained correctly (oil/filter etc) and "looked after" the cam chain can last 120-150 k miles, mines done 117 and it's fine ...

Mine came out at less than 100k miles, had skipped a tooth and was stretched. I had owned my car from 12k and serviced it meticulously.
