spadam 7 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Do the chains on an r32 ever need to be replaced like on the 12v engines. Just havent seen anyhting about changing chains and tensioners on a 24v engine. Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 they are still a wear and tear item .... but same a our engines they should only need changing if they get niosy, snap or alike .... Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thats what i thought just never seen any threads or info on them. Do they have uprated chains and tensioners that last longer or sumink. Been looking at a few for sale recently but none have any mention on chains. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 My 4mo has 90k on the clock and no noise from chains at all. I am getting piston No1 cold start rumble though, so new pistons may be needed. Link to post Share on other sites
