⚠️ TIMING CHAIN WARNING ⚠️

Following on from our X1 post we wanted to do an post dedicated to timing chains, so you know what to look out for and in hope you’re more lucky and notice the signs before it’s too late and you need to replace your engine meaning bigger repair bills.

Your timing chain is one of the most important components inside your engine — and when it fails, the results can be very expensive.

Unlike a cambelt, timing chains are often thought of as something that never needs replacing. However, they can stretch, wear and eventually fail.

‼️‼️ Signs to look out for:‼️‼️

‼️ Rattling or unusual noise from the engine
⚠️ Engine management warning light
‼️ Poor starting or difficulty starting
⚠️ Loss of power or rough running
‼️ Unusual engine noises, especially on start-up

Regular servicing and using the correct quality oil can help maintain the timing chain system.

If your vehicle is known to have a timing chain that can suffer from wear, it’s worth checking its condition and service requirements rather than waiting for it to fail.

Remember - little preventative maintenance could save you from a major engine repair.

BMW X1 – Major Engine Fault Diagnosed 🚘

This BMW X1 was brought to us after the customer contacted us to say the vehicle had no oil showing. They topped the oil up, but when the vehicle was properly checked, it was found to be completely dry.

The AA recovered the vehicle to us so we could carry out a full diagnostic inspection.

After investigating, we found the cause:

⚠️ Timing chain had snapped
💥 The failure had caused a hole to be blown through the rocker cover
- Engine inspected to assess the extent of the damage
- Diagnostic checks carried out to identify the cause of the fault

Unfortunately, this turned out to be a major engine failure, rather than simply being low on oil and this car now requires a new engine.

Fiat 500L – MOT Repairs Completed on a Saturday 🚗

This Fiat 500L came to us after failing its MOT elsewhere. The customer had originally been quoted £470 just for a spring and two track rod ends.

We were able to offer a more competitive price and, while the car was with us, we also took care of the MOT advisories. So more work was completed for less money than the previous garage quoted.

🛠️ Work completed:

- Front spring replaced
- 2x track rod ends replaced
- Rear exhaust flexi replaced
- New bulbs fitted
- MOT advisories addressed
- Vehicle re-MOT’d and passed

The job was completed on a Saturday, getting the customer back on the road without having to wait until the following week.

While carrying out the work, we also noticed the clutch was starting to slip. We advised the customer that a clutch replacement will be needed in the near future so they can plan ahead rather than being caught out.

Another MOT failure turned into a fully repaired and re-tested vehicle without unnecessary cost.

VW Polo – Steering Rack Replacement 🚗

This VW Polo came into us for a steering rack replacement, the job required the subframe to be dropped to gain access and complete the repair correctly.

- Subframe dropped for access
- Old steering rack removed
- New steering rack fitted
- Steering system checked over
- Final checks carried out to ensure everything was working correctly

This car was on very low mileage but it shows that overtime the parts still wear down and need replacing. Have a think, is your steering feeling heavier than normal? Have you checked your power steering fluids recently?
