Chains used to go slack and need replacing.
New chains (on the S2k and the new VVTi Toyotas) are supposed to last "forever", but I doubt it.
What sort of mileage has been done on the car?

What symptoms have you got which means they are saying the chain itself needs changing?

Blimey, just noticed that you have take the timing chain of to change the oil pump, which means that the head has to come off too.
That's what honda want to do to my car to fix the rattle that sounds like its coming from the TCT but isnt.

It could be the pulley wheel the one furthest down 
, dont know the name but when they are on there last legs they make a slight knocking noise.
Chain, i also thought they last for many many miles way past 100k.
LOL @ TCT fitting, yep its a 20min job!

Also, Honda replaced the tensioner 8 months ago and the noise sounds like its the same problem.
Does anyone think they are trying to get out of replacing it free under warranty as they would have to if it is????

I dunno, just reading the instructions off the honda manual, sump has to come off too it says.
Still haven't fitted my TCT. I'm too worried about dropping the pin into the engine.
