Just wondering if theres any need to change the timing chain on these engines and at what mileage? '04 td6 se

Never heard of any problems with them, how many miles has your FFRR done?

Tensioners maybe, but only if a fault develops. Chains should last forever as far as I know. Never seen a thread in 2 years that I can remember about a faulty chain... Prepared to be shot down tho'..
Have you done a search? Previously..

Same as wats, but I'm on 99k miles. Just gave the old girl a service and got diff and transfer box oils to do. Got the oil ready just waiting for a few consecutive dry days so I'm not out there laying on my back in 3ft of sodding water

A wet suit would be ideal in your situation mrblonde

^^ and maybe a snorkel......

Im pretty sure the chains dont need doing, not had a td6 but had the engine twice in bmw's. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Wet jeans and jumper was bad enough on Monday afternoon when we gave the old girl an oil and filter transplant.. One word of advice though, ensure the full to the brim washing up bowl used to catch 8.75 litres of old oil is pulled from under FFRR before heavy handed mate lowers the jack.

There I was stood pouring clean golden fully synthetic into her throat, as 8+ litres began surrounding me as I stood pressed against the front grill *whoops* thank god for Travis Perkins and 3 bags of builders sand

When i was much much much younger, for some reason i thought i had put a bit too
Much oil in my chariot of choice at the time (b reg 1.1 fiesta pop+ 5speed).

Ok i thought when i stop a the the girlfriends house i will just pop underneath and let a bit out.....

Needless to say her parents were non to impressed when i dropped the drain plug and emptiea all the engine oil over their drive......oops. Lesson learned, pay a man to do it....... Mind you that was when qyick fit would do an oil and filter for less than £20 quid.

Shes still my swmbo though so cant have been too bad. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Some years ago I was changing the oil in a large old Blackstone powered generator that was in the basement of a telephone exchange. It took just over 400 litres of oil, and it had - rather conveniently - a pipe that led from the car park above to make the oil change easier. With the help of a first year apprentice, we pumped the old oil up the pipe into some empty drums, then proceeded to pump the new oil back into the engine. One of us at the engine, and one upstairs so everything was under control. After pumping in 2 x 200 litre drums of oil into it, the apprentice checked the oil level - the dipstick went in the same hold we were filling it from. He came upstairs to inform me that another 20 litres should do it, an so I pumped 20 more litres down the pipe while the apprentice slipped outside for a smoke. We went back down to the engine to find the apprentice had NOT put the hose back in the engine and we now had 20 litres of shiny new oil spreading out in a huge pool across the floor...

My apprentice spent several hours cleaning it up while I went and had lunch....

Changing the oil on my MGBGT once, I thought "let's use an old 5 litre plastic can to catch the oil" and proceeeded to cut a suitable hole in the side with a stanley knife. Whoops, slipped, and knife straight through jeans and into right knee joint! Ow! Fortunately I had not drained the oil, so was able to jump in the MG and drive (somehow) to A & E. Doctor took a look by poking finger deep into knee to see how much damage I had done! Ow again! Several internal and external stitches later i was released home.

Now use a washing up bowl  .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember
