Timing chain

[HARMLU]

Yeah dude I get that no worries! If it is the chain though and he's right about it being out by that it won't have caused any problems to the pistons etc?

 

If it damages the pistons you will know about it, don't worry! In the meantime, take it easy on the engine until you get the problem diagnosed! Just out of interest, did it cut out after going through a big puddle and the start up and go in to limp mode? I found out, one rainy and dark night that zeds don't swim too well!

No pal was just driving down an a road and it cut out on me! No lights came on until I pulled the airflow sensor out because I thought it was airflow! Then it went into limp mode

[Neilp]

have you tried doing the throttle body reset procedure?

So no error codes until you disconnected the AFM?

if cam chain was stretched enough, or the tensioner was dead, for the cam timing to be 10deg out you would definitely be hearing it as mechanical noise,

as said take it to someone who knows the engine.

Cam angle sensor?

Mike - as everyone has already said please PLEASE go get a second opinion from someone who knows the zed - at the very least ascertain the correct code and post it up here for advice

So I finally got my car back, turned out the timing chain was knackered. Thanks for the advice guys!!

How many miles had the engine done? as stated before the Zeds timing chains are pretty robust
