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.

No idea

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.

did you manage to get this checked or fixed?

just curious how something that is timed in degrees can be a 1 MS out? millisecond? lol. I guess they thought they'd give you a measurement in time to seem like the timing was out. Probably another camshaft timing job messed up on the easiest mercedes engine to time.
