Timing Chains

Timing Chain Replacement Specialists in Rugeley

Expert Repairs for BMW, Audi, Ford, Mercedes & More

Is your engine rattling on cold starts? Are you seeing fault codes for camshaft or crankshaft sensors? These are classic signs of a failing timing chain – and at MB Motors Rugeley, we specialise in identifying and fixing them before catastrophic engine failure occurs.

We provide dealer-level timing chain replacements with OEM-spec kits for a wide range of makes and models including BMW, Audi, Ford, Vauxhall, VW, Mercedes, Jaguar, and Land Rover.

Why Timing Chains Fail

Timing chains are built to last, but modern engines are plagued by premature wear due to:

Poor servicing and extended oil intervals
Chain tensioner or guide failure
Faulty oil control solenoids
Engine design flaws (BMW N47/N20, Ford Ecoboost, etc.)

If not caught in time, a failed chain can result in valve damage, piston contact, turbo failure, or total engine destruction.

Warning Signs to Look Out For:

Rattling noise from the engine on startup
Loss of power or misfiring
Engine warning lights (P0016, P0017, P052B, etc.)
Oil contamination or low oil pressure
Chain slack or visible wear in diagnostic checks

What’s Included in Our Timing Chain Replacement Service?

Full OEM-spec timing chain kit: chain, tensioner, guides, seals
Replacement of oil pump chain (where applicable)
