Yes it is. Get a new set (preferably with an IWIS pro series chain) and be done with it.
Pros: IWIS pro series chain
Cons: chain is too loose
I've been gathering parts to do the timing chain on my 2012 CTT. I bought it with a reduced engine power warning but was originally told it was just a variable valve solenoid. Thankfully I did some research and learned that you can see part of the upper timing chain guide through the oil fill cap hole. Mine is missing the plastic lining on the upper chain guide so a timing chain service is needed.
Pros: OEM supplier
Cons: plastic lining missing
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayenne
The only better chain is made by Iwis, in Germany. Excellent chain.
Pros: excellent chain
