The timing belt is gone, and a chain now does the job of moving camshafts. Will our customers change the oil enough times to keep the chain in shape Time will tell. keep the oil clean so the hydraulic tensioner will keep the chain "tight"ps: also heard the rear spark plugs are a biatch for this engineQuote I researched the service procedures and when the rear spark plugs were removed, it starts with "drain the coolant." I am not liking this. The rear spark plugs are now a major job, which is a real step backward. Were technicians thought of when this new van was designed I would say no. It is futuristic but that future is not the one a technician dreams about. We want to have access to those parts that normally wear out, need replacement or service. As I have said so many times before, a little thought ahead of time would save techs time, customers service dollars, and warranty claims would be less expensive.

Sometimes it works and sometimes not - more not Also, we just replaced the timing chains so be careful because it happens right around 60-65k miles from what I am told and it is very expensive. Let me know if you find anything out on the odometer because they want to charge me $500 to fix. Thanks!

Over the course of the day they come back. They will eventually all come back. Anyone else have this issue or know what could cause it Also my gas gauge seems to beact weird. It will read correctly for a while the drop to about half a tank then come back up to full.Thanks! Thanks! ]]> 05questowner 2009-04-27T09:23:13-08:00
