| '06 Matrix with timing cover gasket leak | 33Relevance | 5 years ago | Megablast9 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, I have a 2006 Toyota Matrix with 262,000 miles. The timing chain cover gasket is leaking oil quite badly. If I have the timing chain cover gasket replaced should I go ahead have the timing chain changed as well while it is exposed? Car is running well. The mechanic I got a quote from suggested it. Just curious if it is necessary. I plan on keep this car for many more miles as at least a backup car. It would be about $200 more for the new chain. The quote was $545 for the gasket change and $765 for the chain and gasket. The shop has a good rating and ... | |||||
| Answer to: Honda Pilot or Toyota 4Runner? | 32Relevance | 2 years ago | jdavidm | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The timing belt would be a deal breaker for me. According to internet information: The 2011-2015 Honda Pilot 3.5L V6 uses a timing belt. The 2023 still uses a timing belt. Replacing the timing belt would cost you about $1000 for an independent shop to replace it each time every 100K miles. Even if you're lucky enough for a broken timing belt to not ruin your engine, it can still leave you stranded at a bad time and/or in a bad place. The 2011-2013 Toyota 4Runner uses timing chain on both 4 cylinder & V6 engines. timing chains usually last the life ... | |||||
| Answer to: Timing chain broke while cranking engine | 32Relevance | 3 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... crank it's not a good indicator at all, after the head is off before proceeding with a rebuild the crank needs to be turned over a few times, the cams and cam seats must be inspected. Keep in mind that a chain broke, I really recommend taking it apart completely and inspecting everything including the cylinder walls (look for scuffing and deformation into an oval shape) Especially look into the condition of the oil pump and replace the oil pickup tube filter (on a lot of new cars it's built into the pickup tube) Perhaps you might just want to get a u ... | |||||
| 2009 Audi A3 (1.8TFSI) timing chain | 29Relevance | 4 years ago | VKK | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Good day, I have an Audi A3 (8P) 1.8TFSI 2009 year model with 230,000Kilometers in it. The manual says the timing chain should be replaced after 180,000Kilometers, however I hear no sounds or see signals that would point to a loose chain. Furthermore Scotty Kilmer stated in a video that a timing chain can last as long as the lifetime of the engine. (The car's oil and filter was changed as reccomended by the service book) What do you guys suggest, is it worth replacing or can it wait longer? Thanks in advance to all replies. | |||||

| Q: How do you know when a dealer is lying to you? A: His or her lips are moving. You are correct. The timing chain going bad at that mileage is an indicator of poor maintenance or abuse. (In comparison my own car has well over 370,000 miles and the original chain is still fine.) I'd pass it by. | |||||

| Answer to: Timing chain replacement warnings signs | 28Relevance | 5 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| On most engines the timing chain will last the life of the engine if maintained properly (regular oil changes). However there are some poor designs where the chain will wear out no matter what you do. If the manufacturer tells you to replace the chain at 100K miles they're telling you that it's not very well-designed and you'd better do it. | |||||
| Answer to: Timing chain question | 28Relevance | 4 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| timing chains are good for the life of the engine, providing you do regular maintenance and don't drive it low on oil. They don't dry rot and crack like rubber timing belts. Running low on oil causes metal to metal wear on the chain and sprockets. If you don't maintain the engine and routinely check/ change the oil, you will eventually wear out the engine to a point where the timing chain is the least of your concern. Everything in the engine will be worn out. | |||||
| Bad Timing Chain Cause Misfire ? | 28Relevance | 4 years ago | Mohammed-117 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello, everyone, Does a bad timing chain causes misfire when a vehicle is IDLE ? Let's say even it just started to worn out, will it cause misfire while being idle or holding breaks at traffic sign ? It's something me and friends are trying to figure out. They say it's either a bad spark plug, spark plug's wire, or ignition coil than needs to be replaced. Even on google, it say a bad timing timing chain will not cause misfire, but I would like to get a definitive answer from here. | |||||

| Answer to: Why a timing belt? | 32Relevance | 5 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Cars used to be purely chain driven way back when in the day. But as engine design progressed, timing belts became more desirable because chains were too heavy. Take for instance an older push rod engine and a newer overhead cam engine. That’s when belts became more popular, since the belt/chain had to travel further, it was more practical to use belts. As technology progresses even more, chains got better, and became more popular where now they are both prominently on many many vehicles. There are trade offs to be made, belts are lighter, quieter, and easy to snake through weird configurations. chains are louder, and more challenging to snake through weird configurations, but are lower to no maintenance. The thing with chains is that you really need to keep up with oil changes more religiously, because chains rely on the oil to be clean and as to not gum up the chains. Belts run dry, but have higher interval changes than chains. I never really thought much about belt versus chain... until I had to change the timing belt of my Honda Accord 1999. It was a PITA. If I am on the market for another car that I plan to keep for a long time, I am definitely looking for a car with a timing chain. It’s not a deal breaker, but much preferred. I don’t want to deal with changing another timing belt again. Or even pay $$$$$$ to get done. The shop wanted so much money to get it done, and I can see why. It’s a PITA. | |||||

| Ticking noise after timing new chain and bearings. | 30Relevance | 2 years ago | craig21 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi guys, ( new here, please advise if anything wrong) I'm in a bit of a pickle with a 2015 Hyundai I40. Bought this car back in November, loved it until I started hearing a faded ticking noise and after a couple of quotes went with timing chain to be changed ( have on it 260k km). Thinking this is the right thing to do I found a good place to do so and then problems started to raise up. Little back story, had some hassle before with buying cars and thought this time I would get smarter, when buying it 1. from a garage, 2. with a mechanic that was doing this for the last 30 years. And even though the garage told me they full serviced it, I didn't want to take any chances and full serviced it with the mechanic that I thought he should know better ( he's been doing the company cars where I work for a long time). Now after the chain was done I heard that the oil was never changed since I bought it because it was full of jelly and that doesn't happen in 15k km that I did with it. And after the chain was done the ticking noise kinda got out on the surface and now I am in the middle of this mess looking for a feasible way out. The guys who did the chain, started hearing the noise louder and checked the bearings, and after that was done, they kinda figured it out, probably by excluding everything else, that is the crankshaft, and they know a guy, who knows a guy and prepare to invest more money... I'm developing some trust issues because I can't find a mechanic I can trust around here. Thank you for reading my rant, Would really appreciate any ideas from a more experienced guys. 🙏 | |||||
