Odds of having Timing Chain Issues in B6 S4, And is it worth it?

[badger.]

I daily drive my '05 about 75 miles/day. I have 151,500 miles on it. I have not had the timing service done.

I don't plan on doing it anytime soon. I have 1/2 sec of "startup rattle" which seems 100% normal to me. Haven't even changed the oil check valves.. that thread popped up literally 5 days after I had just re-done the IM spacers and valley pan gasket and I haven't felt like getting into it again.

One of these days it will just explode on me. Every time I make a post like this I beat any nearby wood into submission.

YMMV.

(This means the same thing in the US as it does in the UK, right?)

I'm glad I'm not your mechanic then!
