Hi everybody
Typically how long timing chains in series 3 last? Do they give any signs before causing trouble? Any idea as how to check them without specialized tools?
Chain is the one thing that has never been touched on my truck and for some wierd reason it is starting to worry me. I am at about 130,000 km (if the odometer of former owner could be trusted).
tx in advance
 
They stretch, there are dimensions in the manual, take off the timing cover to check.

If it's running, it's probably fine. It won't break
