My 9000i reached 202,000 on the original chain, but it did sound very noisy when cold! Got rid of it at that mileage, so no idea whether it went on. Our 9-5 Aero reached over 230,000 and 12 years old on the original chain when we sold it, and it was still very quiet. The 6000 mile oil change intervals helped. Perhaps you were unlucky, although you don't mention the mileage.
