    Timing chain tensioner = surging + intermittent loud tick.

    Hey all
    Since i bought my car back in April i have been getting a surge of fluctuating power right on the 3 grand mark and now and then a intermittent loud ticking i thought it was the characteristics of the car so didnt think anything of it well since this weekend when i changed out the timing chain tensioner that has all stopped and runs sweet i also changed the scv months ago thinking the surge was that but it did squat tensioner was to blame it was really scored on the ratchet shaft .👍
    Just sharing my experience so if someone has the same symptoms they can catch it before its to late.

    Did you miss the recall?

    Was all done free by MM.

      I'd suggest you take it to a dealer to have it checked properly, the tensioner may not be the only issue.

      As part of the recall they went through a process to remove and check the tensioner, depending on the damage they may need to also check the timing chain and in some cases the timing chain may need replacing.

      If your chain needs replacing it may be a matter of time before more significant damage is caused.

      I'd also take the old tensioner for the dealer to check it out as well.

      As mentioned by BrueandBobbi this was all part of the recall.

          Should still be active - ring any MMAL dealer, quote your VIN & ask if any recalls are outstanding on the car.
