Hello, you should never have to replace the timing chain. It is not a "maintenance" item, and should be installed for the useful life of the engine, if no damage occurs.
Hello, this is not a useful answer. The 1.8T engine platform is known to need timing chain replacements every 80-120k miles to prevent catastrophic engine failure. To say that it is not a maintenance item and that the useful life of the engine isn't longer than 120,000 miles does not help anyone.
