Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 7, 2013 I changed mine after 196,000miles and the only difference i notice is when i turn the engine off i don't get a slight grinding noise as it all whirs to a stop. I guess now that noise was the chain rubbing over the tensioner pad. There wasn't much left of it, and the plastic guide pieces had broken into 2 or 3 pieces.

chaos3oe 0 Posted March 7, 2013 The first sign i've noticed is a scraping/rattly noise from the chain cover area when held at about 1200 rpm, signs that the chain has worn through the top tensioner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
