I finally got around to renewing my camchain at 59000km.
The chain has lengthend by 0,5cm.
Not that i was expecting it to break, but since i am already measuring the valve clearance, i decided to change the chain and sprockets too..... €180 euros.
Warning: From late 2006 onwards, the chainsprocket on the crankshaft is a pressed fitting. Check your reprom carefully. Without a puller you wont get it off/on.
Also, the „new“ chain and sprockets have a slightly different lobe on the gear teeth.
So keeping the old cranksprocket and just replacing the camshaft sprocket won‘t work.
Both need to be replaced. See photo.
