How much to replace a broken timing chain?
How much for timeing chain when broken then would you think
Our answer:
Hi Mary,
The cost will vary considerably from car to car, and even from garage to garage. It will also depend on whether any other damage was done to the engine when the chain broke - there usually is.
Unfortunately it could easily run to well over €1,000, even up to double that.
