MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio Timing Chain Replacement
Why would my MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio need a timing chain replacement?
A timing chain in a MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio ensures the crankshaft and camshaft are synchronised, allowing the valves to open and close at the exact moment needed for cylinder combustion. This synchronisation is important for the engine performance.
If your MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio is equipped with a timing chain, it's important to note that, over time, the chain can stretch or even fail due to wear and tear. This natural degradation means that eventually, the timing chain will need to be replaced to maintain the engine’s functionality. Failure to do so can lead to significant engine issues down the line.
When a timing chain stretches, several symptoms may arise, such as noticeable power loss, engine backfires, rattling noises from the engine, and rough idling or driving. This happens because the engine's timing becomes misaligned, affecting the combustion process.
