C63 Timing Issue

Took my car for diagnosis at a Mercedes workshop (non dealer) noticed engine timing out 1ms left bank. Suggested I need a new timing chain. Anyone else a stretched timing chain on the m156 motor. Also is it a serious issue?

If it is your timing chain, and not just an adjustment to be made, prepare to stock up on lube. That's an engine out job and not cheap. Sorry.

There is only one timing chain, how would only one side be out? Put the engine to 40degrees and see if the cams are where they are supposed to be, along with the adjuster plates.

I think I have heard of issues with the tensioner. That may put a little slack in the chain.

I have never heard of chain stretch on a 63. I would be looking at adjusters before a stretched chain for sure.
