| How to tell if car has timing belt or chain? | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | RadimCernej | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| How to tell if a car has timing belt or chain? For example Honda Civic EX 2014. But I want a general method, when shopping for a used car I want to know if that particular car has a chain or a belt. For the Honda above most sites said chain, but Kelly Blue Book (KBB) said belt. The Honda User Manual PDF does not cover this topic. | |||||
| Timing chain/belt | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | Frankwhite555 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi, so it says my 2004 Honda Accord lx is suppose to have a timing chain but I don't see it. I do see the rubber belt. Is it possible they swapped the chain for the belt? Or am I looking in the wrong spot which I don't believe I am. I'm looking right on the side of the engine and I could almost be certain it's a belt. If it is a belt is it possible to change it back to a chain? | |||||

| Should I replace a timing chain on an Avalon 2011 with 142k miles? There’s a lot of contradictions out there, if it is a belt it must definitely have to be replace but for chain? | |||||
| Answer to: Where is my crankshaft position sensor? | 25Relevance | 3 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Yes, the engine would not be able to run at all with a broken timing chain. Also, since that's an interference engine it would have suffered severe damage with a broken chain. However the engine might run but badly if the chain had just stretched and skipped a tooth or two. It would be easy enough to check for a broken chain by taking off the valve cover and looking. | |||||
| 2013 Hyundai Elantra timing chain keeps breaking | 26Relevance | 4 years ago | GWoitte | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra with about 150000 miles. About a year ago the timing chain broke. I paid to have it replaced, but it has broken two other times in the last year. Luckily, the same shop has replaced it without charge under warranty, but I’m wondering why this might keep happening? The chain recently is starting to make noise again. I don’t want to keep taking it in for the same issue, but at least it’s a free fix for now, and it runs great whenever I get it fixed until it happens again. They’ve tried an aftermarket and the last time an OEM c ... | |||||
| Chain-like noise | 26Relevance | 3 years ago | shanemul | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty I have 2011 scion TC with 165,000 miles on the clock, which I bought used about 9 years ago, with only 33,000 miles on the odometer. In last few months I have had to replace the alternator, rear brakes and brake lines, but other than that I have pretty good luck with it. Over the last two weeks I have begun noticing a chain like noise coming from the front passenger side of my car. It only does it every so often, like when I am slowing down to turn a corner or at traffic lights. I don't know what else would make such a noise, other than the timing ... | |||||

| ... “If you drive regularly in very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C), or in very low temperatures (under -20°F, -29°C), replace every 60,000 miles (U.S.)/100,000 km (Canada).” Be sure to also stay on top of the engine oil and transmission fluid change intervals (assuming you have the automatic) to make those last longer. | |||||
| 2007 Lexus ES350 replaced Valve Cover Gasket, silicon dropped into chain cover area | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | jwstasi | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty. I appreciate your military service, and the great service which you provide us all w/car mechanics. I just replaced a valve cover gasket on 07 Lexus ES350, for front head, and all seemed to go pretty well, except a piece of silicon which was part of the bead which was from the sealing of the timing chain cover, to the engine, fell into the chain cover area, and could not see it or remove it, so is likely in cover area, and/or oil pan. Should I be concerned, and do you think the oil filter will capture it? I thought of just draining the oil, but no ... | |||||
| Answer to: low idle speed, gear shift does not return to neutral | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello, Engine noises on that generation of VW engines is usually caused by the timing chain. The HTP family of engines (2003 ~ 2016) manufactured under the "EA111" series is known for the chain getting stretched and the tensioner failing as early as 35,000km. (usually, from my experience, when the chain is starting to go out, you hear chain rattle at low rpm under load) The rpm you've described is completely normal, but just to be sure, knowing Skoda you'd want to clean your throttle (I think your generation had a manual throttle) and also the PCV valve might need to be cleaned - although this usually happens at higher kilometrages. Please elaborate on the gearbox issue, as it's quite unclear... I'm guessing that you're saying that the gearbox does not go into gear when shifting at speed? Generally with these old common European models, If the shift cable, clutch fork, clutch operation checks out, and you really are sure that it does indeed have a serious internal issue, I'd just recommend putting in a used gearbox from a junkyard - as they're usually relatively inexpensive. If a mechanic checks out your car and says that it does need both a timing chain, tensioner, and gearbox work, you might want to consider spending the money that it would cost to repair this car and get a low millage Japanese economy car instead as these old 1.2L engines, in my experience, don't last long at all... Good luck. | |||||

| Usually I can Google an engine or make and model and find out if it has a timing belt, timing chain, and if it is an interference or non-interference engine. Search results come with conflicting opinions about the 1ZZFE. | |||||
| DT466E possible rear timing chain cover leak | 25Relevance | 3 years ago | oscar305 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 2001 International DT466E automatic. I have an oil leak on front of engine. A mechanic said it was the rear timing chain cover seal. Would need to disassemble whole front of engine including removing head and oil pan. The quote for parts and labor was $4200. I am getting a 2nd and 3rd opinion. I run a PTO when working, Engine will be at idle anywhere from 3-7 hours a work day. Currentrly oil leak is not large but enough to daily leave stains on customers driveway. there are so MANY seals O-rings in contact with rear timing chain cover. For this application would ATP-205 work? | |||||
| Timing Chain Location | 25Relevance | 3 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| What’s the logic of having the timing chain in the back instead of the front of the engine? Take for example the brand new Mazda CX-90. Basically built from the ground up. Brand new inline 6 engine, but the timing chain is in the back, which means an engine out job if/when it needs replacing. (Hopefully Mazda reliability is strong so folks don’t have to worry about it.) | |||||
| Answer to: 2011 Buick Regal Timing Chain | 25Relevance | 2 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Engine problems are pretty common with those, with some timing chain issues being reported. However, what exactly does "pistons, etc." entail? The quoted price seems extremely high for replacing the timing chain on a 4-cylinder engine and is more in line with engine replacement. You did not say what kind of shop you took the car to but you might want to get another opinion, preferably from a good independent mechanic. Stay away from dealers and chains such as Pep Boys, Firestone, etc. | |||||
