Anybody able to enlighten me on the timing thing i.e. belt or chain and changing intervals etc?

Twin cam with chain, no set intervals for replacement.

Cheers Mike. I did read something somewhere about a nylon tensioner, or similar, needs replacing, any ideas?? Just need to know what to look for in the history when I look at a couple later this week Wink

The hydraulic chain tensioner was the subject of a recall due to clogging of an oilway, there should be an entry in the service book to show that it has been done or alternatively a dealer can look up the vehicle history.

There is a top guide between the cam sprockets that can wear and fall apart potentially breaking the chain if it falls in the wrong place but the part has been updated and was supposedly fitted to all mk4s but the exact date is a bit vague.

The nylon tensioner blade can wear at high mileages, any rattles from the front end are serious and need immediate attention.
