are ITM timing chains any good?
are ITM timing chains any good?
I checked ebay and saw a bunch of timing chains quoted to fit om601/602/603 made by ITM for less than $40.

Has anyone had experience with these?
I know a timing chain is the last thing to cheap out on but the engine it's going into does not have much life left in it so I figured it's still better than the original chain that's on it.
what do you guys think?

Ex: 525tds 130kW, C250TD 160kW, E320CDI 200kW, ML400CDI 230kW, A6 R5TDI 130kW
Now: Q7 V8TDI 240kW, 320d 150kW, 335d 210kW
I wuld say exact opposite, that original 400k chains are better that chinese crap. Anyway at that mileage stretch should be like half way to limit.
