Mk4 Mondeo chain replacement?

sellasheep · 2016-09-03 12:45:00

I've an 07 MK4 Mondeo, early engine with the timing belt and chain, I know a wet belt was introduced later in 07 which proved a disaster. There is 220000km on the car, belt was done at 130k but not the chain. When should that be replaced?

The main thing which chains is to make sure you service your car properly. Oil changes are key in timing chain longevity.
