Details

Replace the engine timing chain when you hear a metallic rattle from the front of the engine or get a timing fault warning, since a stretched chain disrupts valve timing and can cause severe engine damage.

• Replacement sign: Metallic rattle on startup or rough idle accompanied by the check engine light.
• Approximate lifespan: Typically lasts about 150,000 to 200,000 km depending on engine type and regular oil changes.
• Install requirement: Requires a specialist technician and timing tools, and must be installed according to the engine's timing marks.
