A timing chain is designed to synchronise the internal components of your engine. Over time, chains can stretch, guides can wear and tensioners can lose their ability to maintain the correct chain tension.
This can cause rattling noises, timing faults, warning lights and, in serious cases, internal engine damage.
At CarsUpkeep in Bedford we regularly carry out timing chain replacement on BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, MINI and other chain-driven engines.

How much does timing chain replacement cost?
Timing chain replacement costs vary significantly depending on the engine and vehicle. Some repairs start from around £850, while more complex engine and drivetrain configurations can cost considerably more.
What are the signs of a stretched timing chain?
Common symptoms can include rattling during cold start, engine warning lights, timing-related fault codes, poor running or unusual engine noises.
Can I keep driving with a noisy timing chain?
A timing chain noise should be investigated before continuing to drive the vehicle extensively. If the timing system fails, serious internal engine damage can occur.
Do you replace the guides and tensioners?
Our timing chain repairs normally include the associated guides and tensioners required for the specific engine rather than replacing only the chain itself.
