How often should the timing chain be replaced on a Magotan?

[LucilleDella]

Volkswagen Magotan's timing chain does not require regular replacement. Generally, the chain should be inspected after about seven to eight years or around 100,000 kilometers of driving, while the replacement cycle is approximately between 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers, depending on the actual usage of the vehicle. Below is an introduction to the timing chain: 1. The main function of the timing chain is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the engine's intake and exhaust valves open or close at the appropriate times. Therefore, the timing chain guarantees the normal intake and exhaust of the engine cylinders. 2. In the past, timing belts were commonly used in automotive timing systems. However, for all engines, a timing belt that skips teeth or breaks can cause the engine to malfunction, and in severe cases, it can even damage the entire engine.
