    Default timing chain

    hi all.

    im getting my 2.2dti serviced this week and understand its got a timing chain not a belt.

    is it neccessary to to get the tensioners checked/tightened instead or are they self adjusting?


    many thanks.

    It is auto tensioning mate using hydraulics. If the chain isn't rattling i wouldn't worry about it

    I've got a set of service schedules on order for VX (the wrong set arrived a few weeks ago)
    From memory the chain is "inspect only" at 100K miles / 10 years
