Balance chain replacement.

Balance chain replacement.

How much would it cost to replace the balance chain tensioner and guide on a 2004 Saab 9-3 2.0-litre Turbo?

Our answer:

Hi Gene,

Prices for labour etc. vary wildly around the country, but the work involved is only two to three hours. The parts are between €150 and €200. Assuming the garage has the right tools then the engine doesn't need to come out.

Hope that helps.
