    Connected to the engine?? Is it a design issue as well as a lack of servicing issue?

    Yep it's at the rear of the engine. I'd say it's the same as the Bmw, a combination of design fault and excessive mileage on the service intervals

    Yes but it's the affected engine with the timing chain issue. They use the 1.5dci Renault engine in there fwd models I.e the A and B class models.
