When to replace a Clio's timing chain?

When does a timing chain need replacing on a Renault clio 0.9cc and 13 plate

Our answer:

Hi Paul,

Timing chains don't usually come with a set replacement schedule as they are - theoretically - designed for the life of the engine. If you're worried about it, get your mechanic to take a listen to the chain at cold start up, but otherwise it should be fine so long as the oil changes are done regularly.
