skoda fabia's chain...how loud should they be

Featured Replies

Hi, im suppose to be buying a.02 Fabia tomoro. I test drove it today but after i parked i noticed the chain sounded a little loud..the salesman informed me that this is normal so just wondering would anyone have any advice about these cars please

Which engine ?

DB.

What chain; what engine?

Best advice is go find another car with same engine and listen to it. Maybe someone here can offer a comparison if you give rough idea of your location and the car.

Next advice - don't trust any salesman who says, "that's normal/they all do that/no problem".

Best of luck with your purchase; Fabia is a great car.

It has 55000 Miles on the clock..has the service history recorded for the last 4 years

That's a low mileage. Does it match with the known service history?

As before, best advice is to listen to another car with same engine.

They are fairly loud as the chain has no tensioner. I'd doubt at that mileage if its that bad.

It has a 120k change interval, in practice people run them till they can't stand the noise. I have 42k on my car and it's barely noticeable but it's been serviced every 2k (12 months) by it's last owner and only had 21k on when I got it.
