How often should the timing chain be replaced on the Magotan?
1 Answers
The timing chain on the Magotan should be replaced at 200,000 kilometers. The replacement method for the timing chain is as follows: 1. Remove the valve cover and then the timing chain housing; 2. Rotate the crankshaft to position the first cylinder at top dead center and secure the crankshaft with the fixing screw; 3. Rotate the intake and exhaust camshafts—there are grooves at the rear of the camshafts, align the grooves of both camshafts horizontally; 4. Remove the old chain and install the new one; 5. During installation, ensure there is no gap at the crankshaft position sensor to avoid triggering fault codes. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with the following dimensions: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase 2871mm, and a curb weight of 1445kg.
