Do I change the Mercedes E 200's chain?

When is the timing chain supposed to be changed on a Mercedes-Benz E 200 1.8 petrol? It's a 2003 model with 100,000 miles on the clock.

Hi Garry,

Timing chains don't come with a scheduled change, as they are designed to last the life of the car so long as the engine is well-maintained.
