Welcome to Top5autorepairs. In today's topic I will discuss when the timing chain is bad and due for replacement. The most common issue is going to be rattling noise.
If you hear rattling sound coming from the engine especially during cold start, it will be a timing chain issue. Usually, the problem is caused by bad timing tensioner, low engine oil, stretched timing chain, worn water pump and worn or broken timing guide. I hope you will my lecture video and consider subscribing.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO YOUR INFORMATION IS VERY IMPORTANT AND PROFESSIONAL

Excellent video, covering all the aspects of this issues, thanks.

Great video thanks. The W169 A-Class Merceds Benz has timing chain problems and is difficult to replace the chain. There are plenty of RU-vid videos showing the timing chain cover with a slotted hole in it due to a worn timing chain rubbing a hole in it. People usually notice an oil leak from the cover before they think the noise is an issue. If the guides need to be replaced the engine needs to be dropped.

If the timing chain was stretched (not broken), would it cause the valves to be bent (if it really broke in a real sense, then of course it would have caused a number of valves to be bent...) so what are the common engine components to be replaced beside a new timing kit?

I have a diesel Ssangyong Kyron with the Mercedes engine. Cold start super quiet until the engine gets up to operating temp then it starts to rattle?? Could this be the tensioner?

@solartonytony5868 29 дней назад

timing chain is a bit loose, about 1/2" or so, on the right side only, seen from the front of the engine, is there a way to adjust it to make it tight ?

@jessicadiaz7 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video, I had a transmission full service, changed the throttle body and I still hear the clicking noose very mildly, and when the car is cold I have a hard time for the speed to pick up, no shaking, it just won’t pick up speed right away, after a while its ok.

@josephn944 5 месяцев назад

Maybe bad valve lifters?

@mirola73 11 месяцев назад

Brand new timing chain set in my car, of course new oil as well, the engine is still not a quiet one. Timing chains are noisey buggers compared to a conventional timing belt.

My 2012 Kia won’t start . Mechanic said the timing chain jumped . Got the ac compressor replaced then when I started it , it was loud , dropped my kids at school . Drove home . Came out later tried to warm it up and it cut off . Never came back on . The timing jumped . Are the valves damaged ?

Awesome video I have 2013 dodge avenger se 2.4 ,we changed the head gasket for oil leak and decided to change timing chain and tensioner as well. Timing was fine before head gasket . But now its slipping and has a loss of power. We didnt change guides or phasers or water pump. Water pump is not on timing chain , its outside the timing cover connected to serpentine belt .we changed all sensors . i got code p0016 - no correlation bank 1 sensor A Why is my timing slipping ?

I have a ‘13 Impala with the 3.6 LFX engine. I know those 3.6 engines in general were known for timing chain issues. I’ve not had issues with mine…. Yet, but I’m OCD with oil changes and checking the level.. My question is, in general why don’t manufacturers put some kind of anti back flow valve on the tensioners where the oil pressure doesn’t bleed off when the engine sits? I’m not a mechanic but it seems like that might solve some of the cold start wear issues.

@nickpope1126 11 месяцев назад

I have a 2018 F150 5.0 with rattling on cold start, Ford says the problem is within the timing system. I had it in for servicing about 7 months ago and they said I had to purchase a new Dipstick because the OEM part was revised. The new dipstick is longer with the hash marks being wider apart from the original. After watching your video I now have to wonder if the proper oil levels were kept within the engine (due to the old OEM dipstick) that has ultimately led to this timing issue which has huge costs involved to repair.

@mathew5629 3 месяца назад

So I don’t hear any clacking on a cold start or when I’m driving but when my car is in park idling normal (warmed up) i hear a small clacking sound I don’t have a problem in accelerating while driving or from a dead stop

so if the chain is tight, is there any possibility of it still making the ticking noise?

@Top5AutoRepairs Год назад

Yes it can if engine oil level is too low

No you need oil pressure to keep tension on the tensioner

When to change the Timing chain and Tensioner?

@richcombs4805 Год назад

At the first signs of what he mentions including a reduction in miles per gallon. IF you change your full synthetic oil every 5-8,000 you probably will never have to. I just rolled 400,000 miles on my 2007 Civic and it is the original chain and only recently am I hearing an extra sound at cold start that I am sure is not the alternator nor serpentine tensioner pulley. Time to do it!!!

@jaineshwarlal9233 Год назад

I would like ask, why i can hear Timing chain noise when the car reaches it operational temperature but there is no noise when the engine is cold . This usually happens when the engine has run 2k to 3k kilometers after an oil change Please explain.

@richcombs4805 Год назад

@@otwhore10ea Even though I do my own work on my car, I can't say I regret paying a Honda dealer for a diagnostic a year ago to really assess if my cat had failed or not....even though the car had 396,000 on it. They gave a nice report. You could consider doing that. If you'd like to see what they provided me I could share it with you. It is definitely better knowing than finding out the hard way...and you are not obligated to pay a dealer to do a chain/pump job. My neighbor just lost his BMW engine because it (2016) has a timing belt and he didn't have it done at 100k and it snapped at 125k miles. You don't want to lose that engine regardless of the age of the car.

I just had the timing changed on my 2017 Nissan pathfinder . The only indication that there was a problem was my service engine light was on and a bit of a lag when shifting into gear. I had it repaired and now it isn’t steering correctly. They tell me that it needs new new control,arms. I literally can’t drive it now! Can these issues be connected?
