Febi bilstein is now offering an enhanced range of timing chain kits to Irish customers. Timing chains are increasingly common on newer vehicle models and there is now a fast growing need for replacements as chains are subject to wear.
So that they can have complete confidence in the job, most garages have adopted a best practice of replacing the full timing chain kit, including related components, rather than just chain replacement. febi timing chain kits are manufactured to OE specification and use original IWIS timing chains, for guarantee quality and to help ensure a long engine life.
In modern engines all the components that are directly involved in the timing process have to be checked in addition to the timing chain. It is crucial that the timing chain is replaced at regular intervals as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. When fitting a timing chain it is strongly recommended that all related components are replaced, as included in the kit, as this will ensure the chain will work correctly its entire service life.
A worn or broken timing chain can cause damage to inlet and exhaust valves, which will reduce power and can even cause complete engine failure. If the chain completely breaks, the crankshaft will not connect to the camshaft, therefore the camshaft will no longer open and close the valves, and consequently the engine will not function. Also the other components surrounding the timing chain if worn or damaged can also affect the efficiency of the overall engine timing system.
febi bilstein timing chains are available from stockists nationwide.
