My mechanic has said to me, on my latest trip for my bi-annual service, that my timing chain requires replacement. Always been a big fan of chain over belt because I have owned three cars prior to this that have all had timing chains and all cars have successfully gone well past 200,000km without any mention of timing chain replacement.

This topic describes how to enable secure, Single Sign-On (SSO) access and enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) via WS-Federation to Remote Desktop (RD) Web Access Server (2019 R2).

On the Permissions page, click Add. Select the user(s), group(s), or role(s) that you want to grant permissions to, then click Add. The added object displays on the Permissions page with View, Run, and Automatically Deploy permissions selected by default. Select the permissions you want and click Save. Default permissions automatically deploy the application to the User Portal if the Show in user app list option is selected on the Settings page. Do not select this option if you intend to use only SP-initiated SSO. Change the permissions if you want to add additional control or if you prefer not to automatically deploy the application.

It’s going to cost you a lot more than $1850 to change cars, so if there’s nothing else wrong with the car, get the chain replaced. Nobody enjoys paying for repairs, obviously.

The cost to replace it is going to be $1850. So I’m currently seeking a second opinion and trying to weigh up whether I should sell the car and buy a different used or new car (need wagon space, limited options). Would that be better than repairing and keeping car for another 5-7 years? Not sure the longevity of the DCT will allow for this.

The D-Max promises reliability and grunt for towing, touring and off-road adventures. But here are the definitive, balanced reasons an Isuzu D-Max is a paradoxically good idea and also a potentially regrettable one…

Open IIS Manager on the RDWeb server and navigate to RDWeb Server / Sites / Default Web Site / RDWeb / Pages, then open Configuration Editor on the right hand side.

Chains stretch (ie - they give you some warning they’re getting ready to fail). The stretching throws off the valve timing and gives the engine control ECU poor data about the ignition timing, etc, because cam position is derived from crank position and assumes a limited amount of stretch in the chain (ie - the computer can’t tell the chain has stretched excessively, so it tells the spark to fire at the wrong time relative to the position of the valves). Belts overcome this problem - they don’t stretch.

The Triton is a 4x4 ute that offers excellent value, benchmark towing capacity and off-road capability that puts more expensive utes to shame. Here’s what you need to know about Mitsubishi’s tougher, smarter, comfier pick-up.

If there’s no evidence of an impending DCT failure, then that’s just an irrational fear. You drive roughly double the national average, so I’m assuming you do a lot of highway driving, which is very easy on DCTs. (It’s very easy on all powertrain components.)

It highlights a fundamental misunderstanding of how engineering actually works - because there are good chain designs and bad ones. Belts, ditto.

If you’re in the market for a hardcore 4X4 wagon that can tow, climb and haul, the Isuzu MU-X is not a bad idea. But here’s why you should take a good hard think before dropping up to $65K on this three-row four-wheel drive…

Belts tend to fail by breaking without warning, hence they do durability testing in R&D and arrive at a conservative replacement schedule.

If a chain or a belt breaks, it will catastrophically destroy most engines because the piston(s) will hit the valves. After that, it’s just scrap metal.

Timing belt vs timing chaincost

Your opinion would be appreciated. If I do get a new car, what is going to replace my wagon, like for like? I'm really against the SUV-style options.

If you operate under the false presumption that chains are better than belts, you’re denying reality, which is that both work just fine, but the detail of the design and the execution really matters. Plus, they have different wear and failure mechanisms.

And 145,000km is a reasonable service life for any timing chain, frankly. The cost you’ve been quoted is not excessive. It’s quite an involved disassembly and reassembly process.

Not trying to rip you a new one, mate, but I always hate it when people make statements like this: "Always been a big fan of chain over belt.”
