| 2010 AUDI A4 Quattro Premium Plus Timing Chain? | 44Relevance | 5 years ago | Cgmilla97 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I believe my timing chain is going out, but I wanna make sure before I start buying parts since AUDI parts are expensive. I noticed my car took way too long to start up, it usually starts up with one press of the silver circle or start switch whatever, but it took me holding it a few seconds which is odd. I had a check engine light come on and while that came on it seemed like my cars timing was way off, I'd press on the gas and it would take 2 to 3 seconds to go anywhere so a red flag in my head went off so I parked the car, turned it off, and had it towed. The codes are p305400 and p001600. I believe the second one is specifically about timing. Is this most likely a timing chain? What parts should I buy or what else could it be? What could also be wrong if the timing chain is bad like could the valves be bent and how do I check all that stuff? And help is greatly appreciated especially since my usual shop quoted me at $2000 if it is a timing chain! | |||||
| Pull engine to replace Lexus HS250H timing chain? | 44Relevance | 9 months ago | toyotaordie1971 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Can I replace my timing set/water pump/tensioner in my car or will I need to remove the engine? Lexus HS250H I have a 2010 Lexus HS250h with 274,000 miles. Runs like a timex, except a stutter (that isn't normal) when it starts. I believe this to be caused by slack in a stretched timing chain. It's a fantastic car that gets decent mileage, looks gorgeous and is nice to drive. I don't want to see it go away because the timing chain breaks, valves and potentially a piston or two bite the dust. I've been quoted STUPID money for a whole new top end including ... | |||||
| Answer to: timing chain guide ... | 44Relevance | 2 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It means what it says. With proper maintenance for most cars there are no scheduled changes for a timing chain as there are with belts. My daily use car has 28 years and well over 370,000 miles on the original timing chain, tensioner, and guides with no problem. Another has 39 years and 300,000 miles. That depends on the quality of the plastic used. There are many different types. They will usually start rattling long before they break. Though that kind of noise can also be caused by a bad tensioner rather than the chain itself. For some cars there is a specification for how extended the tensioner can be before the chain is considered worn. | |||||
| Answer to: E-CVT and timing chain longevity? | 44Relevance | 3 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Do you mean eCVT like in Toyota Hybrids? Or do you mean CVT like in the traditional sense? And by timing chain, do you mean timing chain on the engine, or chain/belt on the transmission? An eCVT from a Toyota hybrid doesn’t have a chain/belt. So you don’t have to worry about that. But it does have a timing chain. I am not too familiar with different RPM’s causing a stretch that others, but it seems as though it would stretch over time and usage. A traditional CVT, IMHO, I thjbk yiu have to worry more about transmission belt/chain wear and tear before any stretching. It’s just the nature of the beast that it would shed a lot of material, especially JATCO CVT’s. | |||||
| Answer to: Camry should I replace chain tensioner | 41Relevance | 5 years ago | Trans Am Man | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It is a 2012 toyota se with the 4 cylinder. i was asking if i should just replace the timing chain tensioner, (yes you can replace the tensioner without taking the engine apart from what i have seen.) instead of taking off the valve cover and having to replace the gasket and do all that extra work to physically see and feel the slack in The timing chain, just to replace a 60 dollar part. I also dont want to buy a timing gun because they cost half the price of the tensioner. Would this be a smart move? Or am i just being to cheap? The car was driven 90% high ... | |||||

| 2013 Mercedes Benz C350 Timing Chain Problem | 34Relevance | 5 years ago | Moxostoma | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My 2013 Mercedes-Benz C350 with 78,000 miles usually makes a rattling sound for a few seconds when I start it. The local dealership diagnosed the problem as a stretched timing chain. They want to replace the timing chain adjusters, four camshaft adjusters, and timing chain. They quoted $9,800 for the job. The car's not worth $10,000. Mercedes had a recall of C350's for this exact problem but the VIN on my car is too new to be included in the recall. Is it dangerous to drive the car if I don't get it fixed? | |||||
| Should I replace the timing chain in my 2006 RSX? | 33Relevance | 4 years ago | WaRSX | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I recently bought (private party) a 2006 Acura RSX type S manual with 141k on it. It runs and drives well, except there is a rattle while driving which sounds like it's probably the timing chain. I figure it's probably the tensioner that needs to be replaced but should I get the timing chain replaced as well? I'm sure it's the original chain on it. Thanks in advance | |||||
| 2012 Bad GM Buick Verano 2.4 Eco Timing Chain | 40Relevance | 6 years ago | mcase | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty. Have a 2012 Buick Verano purchased new religiously maintained oil and routine maintenance schedule. Hit 90,000 miles they recommend timing chain and water pump chain and related gaskets be replaced and solenoids due to loose sounding chain. Check engine light was on P0013. Had exahaust cam solenoid replaced which took care of check engine. Price to replace chain $1600. GM through customary loyalty cash at $500 since all service records are from dealer. My cost $1100. Also replace camshaft actuators and intake cam solenoid. From what I understand ... | |||||
| 2015 Mazda 6 Timing Chain replacement or not? | 40Relevance | 5 years ago | Tony43 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, Last Year I bought a 2015 Mazda 6 with a 2.0 liter 165HP naturally aspirated DI engine, and runs, drives like a swiss clock! My only concern is that the car has 189000 miles and the timing chain has not been replaced yet! The car has been maintained by the local Mazda dealership and the all the fluids were changed regularly! Since I bought the car, I only did a tune up and a break change, oil change at every 8000 miles also a valve cover gasket! So, my question would be, that should I replace the timing chain and it components or wait till I ... | |||||
| 2007 Camry air brake noise after replacing timing chain | 39Relevance | 5 years ago | tharvey | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... chain stretched and slightly off giving the code. I replaced timing chain. Upon startup of engine there is a sound, similar to that of an air brake releasing. To my ear it sounds like a release of compression. This happens once and then the engine idles without any problem. Increase RPM’s, the air brake sound returns and continues until return to idle then no air brake sound. Went back to double check if timing set correctly. Crank pully at zero, No. 1 cylinder all the way to top (put 3/8 extension in cylinder and watched it go to top), both intake and exh ... | |||||
| Toyota/Nissan V6 Timing Chains | 37Relevance | 5 years ago | Sleepy ES | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| This question pertains to particular V6 engines made by Toyota and Nissan. I've done my research on pros and cons of 2GR FE (Toyota) and VQ35 (Nissan) and even the Honda/Acura V6s which STILL use timing belts and still require valve adjustments. I'm pretty set on buying a 2007 RX350 in the near future, mostly for my parents though I also intend on driving it and I pick Toyota/Lexus products because overall, they're just not as expensive to maintain. I do maintenance that a diyer can do. (thanks to you scotty! 🙂 )BUT I don't want to deal with timing belts. The drawback with Toyota/Lexus is their V6 FWD cars can be boring to drive. The Infiniti FX35 is priced a bit cheaper than the 2007-2009 RX350 down here in Southern California, and is RWD. It may be the fun car I'm looking for me personally as well. I know it has the same G35 engine, (VQ35). From what I've read all over the web and my limited XP w/ the 2GR FE engine, the timing chain never has to be serviced. Ok, good. The VQ35 has a timing chain, but I'm hearing it may or not need to be serviced. Supposedly a tensioner or some other timing chain part has to get changed out REGULARLY around the same time a timing Belt would be serviced 90K miles...(kinda defeats the purpose of switching from belt to a chain, I feel). The internet won't fully confirm nor deny it. So is the Nissan VQ35 engine an engine, I should avoid? The RX350 is going to be daily driven, I don't know if an Infiniti with the VQ35 can do the same. | |||||
| Should I replace the Timing chain in my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer? | 33Relevance | 5 years ago | Jacqueline R. Thompson | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello! I have a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT 4.2 v6 automatic 4wd It has almost 215,000 miles and original motor still. I was told it needed a new timing chain. The engine does burn oil. I have to top it off probably every 1500 miles after I have changed the oil. So maybe half way through the fresh oil change. Is it possible to just replace only the bas timing chain and the engine possibly last a little longer or should I just let the motor go out and replace the whole thing? Ty so much! I appreciate it. | |||||

| If it’s a timing belt, it’s a good idea to replace the timing belt and balancing belt while you are down there. If it’s a chain, I don’t think it is necessary. As far as I know, most can go the life of the engine. You’re lucky if it’s a timing chain! The previous generation was a timing belt. | |||||
