How much should it cost to repair a timing chain on a Vauxhall corsa comfort 1.0?
The engine is sound quite noisey on start up and theres a tapping noise while driving sometimes. No oil light or engine management light has come on yet.
Anyway i took the car to my local garage this morning (not a vauxhall dealer just an indipendent) he listened to the car starting up and said its the timing chain....and quoted me £800?!?!?! that cant be right surely??
i was thinking around the 200 quid mark perhaps but not that much. Iv checked online and the parts only cost £90-100 to buy
thanks in advance .
