That ACTUALLY means that you probably didn't need to replace the timing chain in the first place.

If you did it yourself, did you replace the tensioning rails? Check to see if they're worn.

Note that one of the tensioning rails connects to a piston actuated tensioner assembly; if it isn't functioning properly the timing chain tension will not be maintained.

Also, if the engine has low oil pressure, the tensioner will not function properly and you may end up with a loose timing chain.

When does your Saturn sl2 timing chain need to be replaced?

Timing BELTS are outside the engine, run dry, and have no external lubrication. Timing BELTS should be replaced according to the manufacturers schedule. But the SL2 is not equipped with a timing belt, it uses a timing chain. Timing chains are internal, well lubricated, and designed to last as long as the rest of the engine. You shouldn't need to replace the timing chain until you rebuild the engine.

Where is the timing chain in a 2002 Saturn Vue and how do you replace it?

Early Saturn VUE's use a Opel designed V6 engine. This engine is also used in the Cadillac Catera, Saturn L series, and Saab vehicles. This engine does use a rubber timing belt that does have to be replaced every 90-100k miles. It should be noted this engine requires some very special tools to replace the timing belt. Pretty $$ tools. The tools can be rented here for 30 days: http://www.ledfix.com/timingbelttoolrental.html

Does timing belt need to be replaced to fix water pump in 2002 Honda Civic?

You do not have to replace the timing belt but you will have to remove it in order the replace the pump. Unless the belt is pretty new I suggest you replace it at the same time you replace the pump. The pump should have been replaced when you replaced the belt at 105,000 miles.


Do you change timing chain on 1997 Saturn?

Typically a timing chain does not fail since it runs in an oil bath. Of course, any physical component of a vehicle CAN fail, but timing chains typically do not need to be replaced until you rebuild the engine. A good general rule is, replace the timing chain whenever you work on the valve assembly.
