Yes thats the 1st thing he said he will be doing. Engine used to be so quiet. Honda happiness that seems to be going fast. In last 6months 3 clutches a dmf, vsa module , manifold now looking at timing chain (roughly how much does a timing chain fitted cost) maybe ive got a vauxhall in disquise cause its seems to be falling apart after 110k
Got the bad news timing chain is the culprit for the noise they also said they would not of diagnosed it if i had not told them as noise is par for the age and miles the cars done and theyve heard a lot worse
Well im going to ring HUK see if they will do a good will gesture cant see it myself and to be honest they have been good to me. The warranty for the chain if ive done my homework correctly were only for 04/05 reg so would not come under that plus im well past that warranty extension
Not 100% sure what to do cars in mint condition for mileage if i was to put new chain on i would be lucky if i did not have to replace injectors thats my biggest concern turning a £1200 job into £2500 thinking could just keep driving monitor noise and hope it stays as it is which is not that bad and still drives smoothly if i was to drive pass you in the street you would not hear a thing cars really smooth only time you can hear anything is when cars in idle and worse thing if goes could get recon engine fitted roughly £2000. if i was certain injectors would come out i would go down the new chain route but then who to do the job. Or keep for family car and get a replacement taxi.Any1 any better ideas
Your in good hands there Dave and worth the 2 hour trip.Quick update for you have phoned HUK this morning hoping might get goodwill gesture not that i deserve it as i have mentioned they have always come up trumps for me,they cant do anything unless diagnosed by a Honda dealer so phoned main dealer in York again explained the situation about having it diagnosed elsewhere and the situation with HUK and explained why took elsewhere regarding the price,they still wanted £199 even though i only wanted them to check the chain. So phoned HH in stoke they will carry out the inspection and replace chains for 1k they explained about the injectors and but my mind at rest a bit by telling me 9 out of 10times they come out no probs so dropping car of in morning 2hr drive and they will do the work Monday
