What is the lifespan of the timing chain on a Roewe 350?

[LaAliyah]

The timing chain of the Roewe 350 is recommended to be replaced every 150,000 kilometers. Below are the relevant details: 1. Function of the timing belt: The main role of the engine timing belt is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open or close at the appropriate times to allow normal air intake and exhaust in the engine cylinders. 2. Symptoms of the 350 timing chain issues: Symptoms include difficulty starting the engine when cold and a 'rumbling' abnormal noise when accelerating. Generally, the timing chain is a maintenance-free component, but this common issue typically 'manifests' after about four years of use, by which time it is usually no longer covered under warranty.
