At how many kilometers does the timing chain of the New Transit need to be replaced?

[LilyRose]

The timing chain of the New Transit needs to be replaced after driving 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Prolonged failure to replace it can lead to unstable engine operation, weak acceleration, and engine failure due to chain skipping. Function of the timing chain: The timing chain uses high-strength metal links to connect the sprockets of components such as the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring their synchronized operation. Signs of timing chain issues: After driving a certain number of kilometers, the vehicle may exhibit varying degrees of increased fuel consumption. This is not solely caused by timing chain failure, but a comprehensive inspection is recommended if fuel consumption rises. If it's a normal occurrence, routine maintenance is advised. Characteristics of the timing chain: Compared to traditional belt drives, chain-driven systems offer reliable transmission, better durability, and space-saving advantages.
