Horsham Van Mechanic for Transit Timing Chains and Transit Custom Wet Belts
Timing chain repairs on older Transits and Transit Custom wet belt replacement for Horsham owners, at our Copthorne workshop on the far side of Crawley.
Chain or Belt? Horsham Transits Need Different Work
Horsham sits at a meeting of routes, with the A24 running north to south between London and Worthing and the A264 dual carriageway linking the town east to Crawley and the M23. Copthorne is further along the A264, beyond Crawley and the M23.
Older Transits with the 2.2 and 2.4 TDCi Duratorq diesels drive their camshafts with a timing chain. A stretched chain often shows up as a rattle on start up or a cam and crank correlation code. Our timing chain replacement page explains how we confirm the cause before we quote.
Newer Transit and Transit Custom vans with the 2.0 EcoBlue use a belt in oil instead. Our Transit Custom wet belt replacement for Horsham owners renews the timing belt and the oil pump belt together.
Which Camshaft Drive Does Your Horsham Van Have
The engine code on your registration document or VIN tells us which engine is fitted. Send it with your quote request and we will confirm whether you have a chain, a wet belt or, on a Transit Connect, a dry cambelt.
On the 2.0 EcoBlue, Ford currently sets the timing belt and tensioner interval at 6 years or 100,000 miles; for a chain or a Connect cambelt, we read your own service schedule and history before quoting.
Oil light on, hard brake pedal or low oil pressure?
Stop driving and book a diagnostic before more damage is caused.
