| 2001 Mustang - timing cover problem |
| By Sam - 12/02/2003 10:26:52 AM; IP 24.172.45.182 |
| We have a 2001 Mustang, 6-cylinder. After several visits to the dealership (while the car was under warranty) for a loud banging noise, finally it was determined that the timing chain was banging against the timing cover. After several conversations, it was decided by the lead mechanic to replace the timing chain and cover, and that "it would not affect the longevityof the motor or drivetrain". Excuse me? A major component like a timing chain banging against the cover is NOT a major problem? I also heard from several of the other mechanics that this is a COMMON problem with this year and motor. Any thoughts or comments out there? And would YOU ditch this car ASAP too? (I am thinking of getting rid of this ASAP). Thanks! |
