Guest Olly_K Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 timing chain tensioners seem to disappear at around 100k, and yes, you've probably drove quicker. Oh, and welcome by the way Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 depends what u mean by quicker, if acceleration is your bag then just get the old school report out, "could have done better". but if you thinking hopping past cars on the m'way at 140-150mph is slow then join the airforce! head gaskets are also reknowned for going if not looked after or regular coolant changes performed! although there isalways the exception to the rule , hey pete :-( Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 timing chain upper tensioner blade, engine mounts and suspension bushes are all prone to wearing out...usually between 100k-120k. Link to post Share on other sites
