When to replace timing chain on Kia Soul?
I agree with pnoman, these timing chains should last a very long time. If Kia wanted it replaced at 90,000 or more miles, they would call for that. They don’t. Best of luck. I have a 2014 Kia Soul Plus that I bought 18 months ago and have put 92K miles on so far.
When do you know to change the timing chain?
A timing chain runs inside the engine, as it needs to be lubricated by the engine oil. A timing belt typically needs to be replaced between 40,000 and 100,000 miles depending on the vehicle and it’s a few hundred dollar repair. A timing chain doesn’t need to be replaced unless there is a problem with it.
