Timing Chain Snapped

While it's not the most widespread problem, timing chain failure isn't unheard of on the 1.5L BlueHDi engine, especially if there have been issues with oil pressure or poor maintenance history (e.g., extended oil change intervals). Some owners have reported premature wear of the timing chain or issues with the tensioner. However, it’s still not something you’d expect at 130,000 km without prior symptoms like rattling noises, engine warning lights, or rough running.
