Re: Where to get a timing chain from?
I thought they always rattled a bit, but I might be thinking of the older 1.3 engine...? but if it really needs a new one, I would go to Skoda for one, or failing that try eurocarparts or GSF.

Re: Where to get a timing chain from?
Ah!

Nowhere near me then!

Ive spoken to a mate...about 4 to 5hrs if done properly with sump off etc, but it can be done at home without taking it off...just.

Re: Where to get a timing chain from?
The labour might be depends if you take it to a dealer or good independent...

At least buy Genuine parts and you know there good enough especially at the low prices!

Re: Where to get a timing chain from?
It'd be a long and quite messy job for an inexperienced mechanic. There is also the potential for engine damage if you get the new chain on out of step. Given a workshop manual, the right tools and sufficient patience, it should be achievable, though.

Re: Where to get a timing chain from?
Cam chains tend to last 180-200k miles.

Is it just your opinion that it needs changing or have you have 2 & 3rd opinions from qualified people?

Age is not an issue with chains
