    Cool Motortech for Timing Chain Replacement on 318i e90

    Hi Guys,

    Just wondering if anybody used jonathan rooney in Motortech and would you recommend them.

    Got a price for changing the dreaded timing chain issue and seems very reasonable.

    Can say its cheaper than most other bmw specialists.

    Not sure if he has made a mistake with the quote, but let me know what kind of money you have paid for the timing chain replacement.

    Thanks in advance

    Its defo not 2 grand from BMW Specialist. You might be thinking about when it has broken, then it probably is two grand with damage to valves and other things.

    It is €1500.00 from Joe Duffy BMW.

    He said he would be using original equipment. don't really want to put quote on here. Think the usual price is around €900.00. He is cheaper than that.

    Are the petrols timing chain different to the diesel? Is it still engine out? Is €550.00 a good price?
