Just wondering if anyone can confirm for me that a V6 engine with a little over 250,000K using 14.4L/100 and is using oil, but not blowing any smoke could be related to the timing chains being worn.

Looking at getting a comp test done to ensure rings are fine, but a mechanic mate mentioned that the high fuel and oil usage could be timing chains.

Visible soot at exhaust tip.

Sluggish when taking off from standing start.

Thanks
