Hi guys,

Porsche owner coming in peace!

I am looking at getting a fun daily to cruise the dreaded M25 for the couple of days I am in the office.

Now this example I am looking at is over 100k miles but doesn't have any record of timing chain being changed; so obviously I am looking for quotes and first one I received from a well known indy was £3200 - which felt - excessive.

I am aware the engine is coming out but my Cayman has had a belt change and that was £800 add-on to a service.

Others dealers have quoted £1800 - £2400 - is this more realistic? Anyone had any experiences with this?

Appreciate it!

why would you need to replace the timing chin at 100K? Is it rattling?
