(Perth) Hi guys, if anyone wants to borrow my timing chain tool and would like advice/hand in changing out the chain get in touch - happy to help.
Just did my own chain and no looking back. Idle issued sorted. Rattle sorted. Power loss sorted. Hesitation during acceleration sorted. Hard change into 2nd when cold...sorted. has me asking why I didn't do it earlier.
~450 all in including hoist hire at DIY garage and using genuine Febi Bilstein kit and genuine rocker cover gasket to prevent the leak. Wasn't sure of the cheaper kits coming out of Taiwan (feel free to chime in if you have experience). Replaced chain, tensioner, guides, camshaft sprockets stretch bolts, crankshaft sprocket and seal. Significantly cheaper to source mini gear rather than Peugeot/Citroen I found)
Time wise was 8 hrs but could have been done so much quicker as needed to get to Autoone a couple of times after discovering the workshop didn't have the internal and external Torx bits required - can also lend if needed.
Daunting to start off with, but fairly straight forward in the end.
DM me if interested.
