hi guys im looking at a 2004 c55 amg that has done 60,000 miles


now I know its chain driven , but do MB quote a time interval when this chain should be changed or do they basically last the life of the car?

The M113 engine uses a dual timing chain, that should last until about 200k miles.

C32 production years were 2002-2004, the C55s were 2005-2006. Do you mean a C32 then?

60 000 miles is nowhere near for the timing chain to strech...
My C32 has 200 000 miles and recently the chain start to make noises at idle...
I change it few days ago, now it's quite!
60k is nothing for the chain

That's good news. Thought I would ask though, just in case the fact the chain is ten years old became a factor for the chain rather than mileage
