| Timing Chain issue Skoda Octavia | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | habhinav | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI 122 HP DSG, feb 2010 registered. When starting the engine i hear rattling sound for 20-30 seconds seconds and then it sounds normal. car runs fine. it has done 70000 kms so far. I got it diagnosed at Skoda Service center and they said the timing chain has loosened up and it will take around 2500 Euros to get it replaced. He however said, since it is making noise at cold start so no need to panic as I can still drive for say next 60K miles. Not sure if I should drive my car with timing chain issue. | |||||

| Answer to: Timing chain a couple links loose?? | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | Razmig Bartassian | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Well with that kind of mileage it's normal wear. The timing chain and/or tensioner do wear out over time even with regular oil changes. Here's the thing, if you don't hear any high-pitched whinning noises from the timing chain while reving the car, then it's still fine. But if you do hear whinning, then it's too loose and will start to cause problems if not fixed. | |||||
| 2006 Cadillac Timing Chain and Tensioners | 25Relevance | 6 years ago | TLK | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 2006 Cadillac STS, V6, 65,000 miles. Won’t pass emissions in Atlanta, GA. Shows the code related to the common problem with the stretched timing chain. I’ve owned it since new looks like new and everything else is great. 1. what is the approximate cost to have the timing chain and Tensioners replaced? 2. Should the water pump be replaced at the same time? What will that add to the cost? There’s nothing wrong with it now. 3. Is it worth having it done or can it happen again? thanks | |||||
| Answer to: Lexus RX350 2012 (frequency of replacing timing chain) | 25Relevance | 6 years ago | SoCalJT | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| After watching Scotty for the last several years, I'm pretty sure his answer would be, "It has a timing chain, not a belt. So, it should never need replacing as long regular normal maintenance has been the norm for this vehicle." As for myself, I just bought a 2011 RX350 (based on Scotty's recommendations) and the last thing I'm worried about is the timing chain. Mine had 72K when I got it, so I'm contemplating changing the transmission fluid and the coolant since i don't know what's happened before I got it last month. Then I can be sure it has all the "Right Stuff" that it should have going forward. | |||||
| Answer to: Do modern BMWs and Mercedes (post 2010's) still break timing chains after 100k miles? | 25Relevance | 4 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If I remember that problem correctly, it wasn’t the timing chain itself, but the timing chain guides that were made of plastic, that in turn made the timing chain break. I’m not sure about 2010+, I would hope they figured it out by now. | |||||
| Answer to: Camry should I replace chain tensioner | 25Relevance | 6 years ago | BruceREE | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| What year is this car? Tell me if I'm wrong but you are able to check timing chain tensioner without taking the engine apart? What the heck? That's unheard of for me at least. Maybe I just haven't done enough timing chain replacements or something? Lol I mean, it's most likely the tensioner from your vague description. Even if it's 90%-99% you are sure, you might as well check. Because in the small chance it ain't, you'd be wasting time and money right? And if everything is OE and nothin been done, why not get the full kit? Car is 200k after all, not bad if ... | |||||

| You shouldn’t replace timing chains unless they start to wear out. As far as I know the GR didn’t have timing chain issues meaning you probably won’t have to replace it for quite a while | |||||
| Answer to: momentary crank no start | 25Relevance | 3 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| See what you can with a borescope but you're getting to the point where the heads and timing chain cover really need to be removed to see what's going on inside that engine. If you're lucky the valve timing is off just enough to cause compression problems without damaging valves, bores, or pistons. The timing chain setup on the GM 3.6 is complex. If valve timing is off it could be due to any of the 3 timing chains or all of them. You'll want to get all your ducks in a row. This is not a job you want to do more than once. | |||||

| ... case. After taking it to an independent mechanic they told us there was a service bulletin on the vehicle for the transfer case seal and that’s all he would recommend doing, not the 5k replace they wanted. We had occasional check engine lights come on that was diagnosed as the cam shaft sensors getting to extremes of temperatures and causing the issue. They would come on and off on its own so we thought nothing of it. The vehicle ended up getting towed after it overheated in a parking lot at idle, due to a failed radiator fan. Since the. We’ve gotten ... | |||||
| High value of negative fuel trim | 24Relevance | 3 years ago | mutulica2 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello everybody. I have a Suzuki Swift 1.2 vvt engine with 94Hp. Lately I have been getting higher gas mileage and also the fuel trim is between -15 and -20%. The injector have been professionally cleaned and tested, they are in perfect working condition, spark plugs almost new, ignition coils new, all sensors on intake and exhaust are new. My question is: Could the timing affect the fuel trim? The car has 260k km and the original timing chain. There is no typical chain noise on cold startup to indicate a worn up chain. On idle the ignition advance oscillates between 5 and 14 degrees, not sure about the stock values as I cannot find any information regarding that. Should I consider a new timing chain? Or, what else could cause this. Thank you all, Best regards, Adrian | |||||
| Answer to: 2011 Nissan Frontier *ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE* | 24Relevance | 4 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If it's just some valve clatter I would leave it alone for now. I'd be more concerned about the possibility of a worn timing chain. Although it's unusual for a chain to actually break it could happen if badly worn and that's an interference engine. Did you get any kind of warranty? The timing chain setup on the V6 looks pretty complex. Both the timing chain being worn and valve clatter (if that's what you have) at that age and mileage are both common symptoms of lack of maintenance. That engine really needs to be examined by a good independent mechanic to evaluate its condition. | |||||
| Answer to: Should I replace the Timing Belt | 24Relevance | 4 years ago | DIYdave | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I would definitely replace it ASAP. When a timing belt breaks in an interference engine like your Acura it causes massive internal damage to the valves and possibly the pistons, too. It would be a big, expensive repair job at that point. If you can't replace the timing belt yourself, that too will be an expensive job but nowhere near the price of rebuilding the top end of your engine. Also, it's always a good idea to replace the water pump when you replace the timing belt since they're in the same area and it's already opened up. You'd save the cost of ... | |||||
