If your Hyundai ix35 has a timing chain installed it can stretch or fail over time and would need to be replaced to keep your engine running. If a timing chain were to stretch you could notice power loss, engine backfires, rattle in the engine, rough idle and driving.
#1 ยท Dec 13, 2021 Hi, The other day I had chain rattle coming from the engine and after removing the front cover could see timing chain tensioner was loose. So I replaced the tensioner and checked the TDC alignment on the gears to make sure the chain hadn't skipped any teeth. Expert answer Hi Kevin, There is rarely ever such a thing as a scheduled timing chain replacement - they're designed to last the life of the engine. So long as you stick to recommended oil change schedules then we wouldn't expect the ix35's chain to stretch or wear excessively.
