However, it is still possible for the timing chain to stretch or wear over time, which could eventually cause engine problems. Some warning signs that may indicate a timing chain issue include:
- Engine rattling or knocking noise
- Difficulty starting the engine
- Engine misfires or stumbles
- Reduced engine power
- Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is advisable to have your car inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine if the timing chain needs to be replaced.
