Frequently Asked Questions
The timing chain synchronises crankshaft and camshaft rotation to maintain valve timing on 2.25L and 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol engines. Over time the chain can wear or elongate, which may cause a rattling noise from the timing cover, irregular running or reduced valve timing accuracy. Replacement is required when wear or stretch exceeds service limits and the chain must be correctly routed and engaged with the timing sprockets and tensioner during renewal to avoid timing deviation.
