Hi folks, just need some suggestions here. Discovered an oil leak.
Took it to dealership, they ran a diagnostic and said they need to replace the lower time chain cover (parts and labor will be CAD $800), they also suggested due to the mileage (170,000 km), to also replace the time chain since it will have to be replaced eventually but if i change it now i can save some labour cost (total cost will be $1700 for time case and time chain).
i am hoping to keep the car for another year or 2, annual km is around 20,000-25,000.
i am prepared to get the chain cover replaced, but should i get the time chain replacement now or wait?
i was reading it from the forum, it looks like the time chain and tensioner seem to be a common problems for Mk6.
Any suggestions and advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
