| Answer to: E-CVT and timing chain longevity? | 25Relevance | 3 years ago | TheRealThing | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I don't understand your question. A timing chain isn't related anything to transmission, it only does job to spin camshaft from crankshaft to open and close the valves. It generally lasts forever only if it's a good design and changed oil at proper intervals. A poorly designed timing chain or tensioner can stretch or fail like some of GM and Volkswagen had this problem. | |||||
| Answer to: Chevy Sonic transmission and timing chain service | 25Relevance | 4 years ago | Doc | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| As @justin-shepherd pointed out, timing chains don't need to be changed out UNLESS you hear a rattling noise on the cold start of the engine for a few seconds. This usually indicates that the chain tensioner is failing which will necessitate the replacement of the timing chain kit. | |||||
| Would slack in the timing chain be cause to increase short term fuel trim? | 25Relevance | 4 years ago | Devin Ashland | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Just replaced the valve cover gasket on my own Toyota corolla with 94,000 miles on it. I noticed that the timing chain had some slack to it, as in I could pull it up and down. Seemed too loose compared to other resources I've looked into, but I'm wondering if that is cause for my short term fuel trim to bounce between 4% to 6% when idling...what are the cons/dangers of a loose timing chain? Whats the process to get it tightend, and is it something a novice could handle fixing? Thank you for your time. | |||||
| Answer to: Should I repair my timing chain cover leak | 25Relevance | 4 years ago | toyotagrl | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The timing chain cover oil leak is well known on the V6 Toyota 2gr-fe engines and is a lot of work. Engine has to come out to reseal the timing chain cover. It books for 25 +/- hours so yes, it's expensive, but only you can decide if you want to dish out the $$ to get it fixed. | |||||
| 2007 Corolla Timing Chain Tensioner will not reinstall. | 25Relevance | 4 years ago | Toyota Corroded | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello My 2007 corolla 5 spd (1zz-fe) had a timing chain tensioner leak, so I removed it to install a new one. When I tried to push it back into the bore on the engine it won't seat completely, it is 1/4" from being fully inserted. It is a genuine OEM part that I got from the dealer I compared it to the old one, it looks identical It is fully compressed with the pin latched and locked I managed to get a few pictures of inside the bore. It looks like the black plastic tensioner bumper on the timing chain guide arm is pushing inside the hole. Any help towards a solution would be greatly appreciated. | |||||

| These have a issues with stretch timing chains. Remove the timing chain tensioner cover plate located on the front cover and see if the tensioner is extended all the way out. If it is, the chain has streched and thing is off. | |||||
| Answer to: Bad Timing Chain Cause Misfire ? | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | Nathaniel J. | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2011 Nissan Frontier and I have a very rough vibration at idle. Now my case is different than yours. My truck is not misfiring, and my spark advance at idle is ~15 degrees and stays pretty consistent so it’s not my timing chain. I would make sure you look at ignition or spark advance to see if your timing chain is worn. Mine is just the torque converter being worn out. Now the vibration is still even there in park and Neutral but it’s not as bad as when it’s in drive. But yeah I wish you good luck! Kind Regards, Nathaniel J. | |||||
| Answer to: Ford explorer timing chain issue | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | scottykilmer | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Wow yeah realized of course the engine oils what lubricates the timing chain if it gets dirty and wears out the chain will wear out faster. And with modern engines getting higher and higher pressures that's why they invented that gf6 oil to keep the timing chains from wearing keep the piston rings from wearing and so if the guy didn't change the oil often enough or use the correct oil yeah it'll wear out faster | |||||
| Timing chain | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | Mercedes girl | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2006 Mercedes Benz c230 with 121437 miles and can be either a manual or automatic. No codes! I was told it was the timing chain because the cam pressure is not rising when it's being turned over. When the car quit on me it was like it just powered down and then shut off. It would turn over normally but not start. Had the crankshaft position sensor changed still same results. So was told it had to the timing chain. Should I spend the money to have it fixed or sell the car? FYI.. I love this car!! | |||||
| The Dealer Says My BMW Needs a New Timing Chain? | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | JimMichaels1986 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, I recently sold my 2013 BMW 328i 2.0 with just over 100k miles to a high school kid. Sometimes when he starts the car, it will not drive and he needs to restart it. He took it to a BMW dealer who says it needs a new timing chain, and two new turbos? I have never heard of a timing chain needing replacement. Do you think the pulley needs to be replaced like he says, and the turbos, or is it something else? I know, I know, it is a BMW endless money pit, but I feel bad for the kid because as soon as he bought it, it started having problems. | |||||

| Hello Scotty, I would like to tell you that I have had same issue with a 2014 chevy Cruze with 1.4L turbo getting knock sensor code.

Thanks again for all your help you do!! | |||||
| Timing chain replacement interval | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | BlueSubie | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, I own a 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5 Premium automatic. I baby the car, but when I asked my local mechanic about timing chain replacement they said it doesn't need to be changed ever (unless engine is disassembled). I have 91,000 miles with no issues or noises, but I always thought even a timing chain needs replacement around 100,000 up to 120,000? Is Subaru the exception to the rule? Thanks, Scott Frederick Penn Valley, CA. | |||||
