Renault Megane - do I need to replace the timing chain?

My 2017 Renault Megane 1.6 DCI Signature Nav is approaching 36,000 miles. Do I need to replace the timing belt/ chain?

Asked on 8 March 2022 by william Hodgson

Answered by Dan Powell

This engine uses a timing chain and is designed to last the life of the car. That should happen as long as you keep the oil clean with a change every 12,000 miles or 12 months (whichever comes first).
