Does my Hyundai need a new chain?

Hi I have a Hyundai H1 2008 I have a Timing chain I've had it for over a year since I've had it when you start it rattles a couple of seconds and goes away its had a oil change twice it has done 344.000km it runs alright besides the startup sometimes it loses power when I'm driving so I just take my foot off excelarator and put it back on it carrys on driving normal Dose it need changing ?

Our answer:

Hi Sandra,

That's not an easy thing to diagnose from afar, but it certainly sounds like there is an issue getting oil to parts of the engine initially, and that's never a good thing. Likewise, losing power when driving is not normal. I highly recommend you get the car looked at by a good mechanic to help you get to the bottom of these issues before they become larger and more expensive ones.
