Me & my Dad used this video to guide us through fitting the timing chain on Saturday. Got to do it all again now though to fit balance chain as it appears the balance chain tensioner has failed.

Anyone know his rough price for fitting the timing & balance chains?

Thanks for all your replies, can anyone recommend someone to do the work? Im in Romford, Essex. Been quoted £650 for genuine parts and labour by Vauxcentre which is round the corner to me. Pretty sure they said the labour part of it was £250 + VAT. Suppose its a bit to far for evocarlos ?

Thanks for your replies, just want

Ok heres the video of it starting this morning.

*Update* I've just seen this video and the noise is very similar and I note it also says that the noise went away after a few minutes. So this does sound like it could be the culprit, so next question is: Is fixing this the same cost as doing the whole timing chain kit and same amount of...

Hi thanks for your reply, I will probably get someone else to take a look at that as I am not comfortable with taking the engine to bits. If the chain is slack can it be tightened without replacing the whole lot? or would it be best to have it all done with new tensioners & new chain ect...

Hi, we have a 56 plate Zafira 2.2 Direct, Petrol, Automatic over the last few weeks it has cut out a few times out just before you go to pull away. There seems to be a lack of power when accelerating and a more noticeable shaking when idling, which you can only really notice when sitting in the...

Hi, just wondering if you managed to find out what the problem was as this has just started happening to my 56 plate Zafira.
