Why Timing Chains Matter
The timing chain is responsible for keeping the engine's camshafts and crankshaft perfectly synchronised. Over time, timing chains and their associated components can wear, particularly on high-kilometre vehicles.
Common symptoms of a worn timing chain include:
Engine rattle on startup
Check engine light
Poor engine performance
Rough idle
Timing-related fault codes
Reduced fuel efficiency
Ignoring these warning signs can lead to costly engine damage, making early replacement a worthwhile investment.
Engine Mount Replacement
Engine mounts are designed to secure the engine while absorbing vibrations and movement. As they age, the rubber can deteriorate, causing excessive engine movement and vibration.
Signs your engine mounts may need replacing include:
Excessive vibration at idle
Clunking when accelerating or braking
Increased engine movement
Cabin vibration
Harsh gear changes
Replacing worn engine mounts helps restore a smoother, quieter, and more comfortable driving experience.
