Timing Chain Replacement Leicester

Accurate Timing Chain Inspections and Replacements at Competitive Prices

The timing chain is a critical engine component that synchronises the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. This ensures that your engine’s valves open and close at the correct time during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust stroke.

At Van Repairs Team, we offer professional timing chain replacement in Leicester for all van makes and models. If you’re experiencing rattling noises from the engine or other related symptoms, don’t delay—faulty timing chains can lead to serious engine damage if left unresolved.

Why Is the Timing Chain Important?

Unlike a timing belt, a timing chain is typically more durable and designed to last longer—often the lifetime of the engine. However, wear and tear, lack of oil changes, or high mileage can cause the chain or tensioners to fail over time.

A failing timing chain can cause:

• Engine misfiring
• Poor performance
• Rattling noises from the engine
• Check engine light illumination
• In severe cases, total engine failure

When Should You Replace the Timing Chain?

There isn’t a strict mileage for replacement like with timing belts, but it’s wise to have it checked if:

• Your van has exceeded 100,000 miles
• You notice rattling or clattering sounds, especially during startup
• There's oil contamination or poor engine lubrication
• The engine warning light appears on the dashboard
• You’re experiencing starting issues or rough idling

Our experienced technicians will inspect the timing chain system and advise if a replacement is necessary.
