Timing Chains
Much like cambelts and wet belts, timing chains are a critical part of engines, helping to synchronise valves and ensure smooth running and power delivery.
The Car & Van Centre is an experienced independent workshop, dealing with all kinds of timing belts and timing chains, and we have the equipment and technicians capable of making all the difference. Timing chains are metal, located internally, and built to last; however, their performance can still suffer over time, through stretched chains, worn guides, or faulty tensioners, and this could lead to very serious problems if they are not addressed in time.
The warning signs are often a rattling noise when starting up, rough running, diminished performance, or the engine management warning lamp appearing on your dashboard. Damaged engines are expensive to repair, so it is worthwhile mitigating against this with a visit to your local experts, such as The Car & Van Centre.
We are proud to have an excellent reputation in and around Prudhoe for producing outstanding workmanship and exceptional customer service, combined with fast turnarounds and excellent value for money. If you suspect your engine may have a faulty timing chain, it really is the most sensible course of action to take your vehicle to The Car & Van Centre, where it can be professionally assessed and repaired using the correct parts if necessary.
As a long-established and highly regarded independent garage in the Prudhoe area, The Car & Van Centre is a member of the IMI (the Institute of the Motor Industry). Our high standards are consistent, relied upon, and well-known in the south Northumberland area.
