Timing chain on Skoda Fabia
You earlier mentioned problems with timing chains on the 3 cylinder Skoda engines.
My car is 0f 2004 make and approaching 60 000 miles. Should I change the chain now?

That will be the 3 cylinder 1.2 chain cam engine that was actually less trouble than the later 4 cylinder TSI. But if it rattles quite a lot, ask your VWG specialist about changing it. If it only rattles briefly on start-up, don't worry about it.
