Timing Chain at 74,000k

[JestaT]

Hey guys,

I have a rattle at start up that sounds like it's getting worse. I believe that the timing chain has come loose at 74,000k anyone else had this problem?? and does anyone know a good place for repairs that are not over priced??

Thanks

ID say VVT.. go into ur mazda dealer tell them you saw the offical annoncement by mazda about the faulty VVT's and see what they say.

agreed, unlikely to be chain, very likely to be VVT actuator.

wonder how many vehicles overall this issue affected?

Hey guys you were right it is the VVT is it a factory fault or something??? anyone know if it will cause damage and where in Brisbane is a good place that has worked on the MPS 6 before??

Or it could be the pre tensioner for the timing chain. I had that done under warranty. There is a TSB but I think only for USDM vehicles.

I'm havin da same problem with my Mps6. Only done 75000. Usually in the lower gears. Can this b die to a broken engine mount.

Is there anyone in Sydney who is reasonably priced that can do the job?
