Timing Chain Replacement

Some cars don’t have a timing belt, but instead have a chain. While in theory a chain requires less maintenance, we still see failures, some models more so than others. The models that are particularly troublesome are BMW with N47/57 Engines, Mercedes-Benz C200 Kompressor and C250 CGI Turbo found in W203/204 models, and the FSI and TFSI engines by VW group.

At our specialist workshop in Narre Warren, we try to prevent timing chain replacement as this can be very costly, in order for you to get the most out of you’re timing chain driven engine, so we pay particular attention to these models and have a method for measuring chain wear and tear. While we can’t for-see future failures, we can look at existing wear (on some models) and use our best judgement to advise you on the condition of you’re timing chain.
