I took my car in for a service and got told the camshaft magnets were leaking. it got changed plus a lubrication service from a reputable garage. Got the car back and after about 10 minutes of driving the check engine light came on, this had never happened in the 6 months of driving this car so a bit of a coincidence in my mind. The next day I took the car in and got told that the timing chain/tensioner/gears are bad. The timing chain had been done 5000km/3000miles previous from a Mercedes specialist. (the reason I bought the car).
Would check engine light come on for timing chain issues? The car runs extremely smoothly.
Why was the timing chain issue not picked up initially? I just want to arm myself with as much info as possible. Before I confront the garage
Also, I called the mechanic that did the timing chain previous, and he assured the work was done correctly and to spec with genuine parts.
Still stuck with check engine light. Could it be that the work they did is sending a fault code that's wrong?
