The 207 GTI THP engine uses a timing chain instead of a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable than timing belts and do not require as frequent replacement. However, they can still stretch and wear over time, and it is important to have them inspected regularly and replaced when necessary. For the 207 GTI THP engine, Peugeot recommends replacing the timing chain every 10 years or 120,000 miles (whichever comes first).
Additional Tips:
-It is a good idea to have the timing chain inspected every 50,000 miles or so, even if it does not need to be replaced yet. This will help to ensure that any problems are caught early on and can be fixed before they cause damage to the engine.
-If you notice any unusual engine noises or vibrations, it is important to have the timing chain checked immediately. These could be signs of a problem with the timing chain, and it is important to fix the problem before it causes further damage.
-If you have any questions about the timing chain replacement interval for your 207 GTI THP engine, please consult with a qualified mechanic.
