mercedes vito cam/timing chain

[reevio]

recently bought a 1997 vito 108d with 67,000 miles on the clock have no record of the timing belt or chain being done so will need to get it done

what i want to know is the when the cambelt should be done and what sort of price the lovely dealers charge for a job like this ? thanks alot

If it's a chain (which i imagine it will be like other MB's) then don't worry, should last upwards of 150k miles.

I asked my local MB dealer the timing chain question on my W210 320CDI when I first bought it and was told "don't worry about it, they last for 400,000 miles".

I live in hope that that info is correct.
