The 2009 Honda Fit comes with a robust timing chain that is made up of links responsible for turning the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets to synchronize the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves during engine operation. Unlike a belt that needs regular replacement, the chain is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. However, in some cases, the chain may experience stretching or wear, resulting in inaccurate engine timing. Signs of a failing chain include engine misfiring, difficulty starting, illuminated check engine light, engine compartment rattling noise, and presence of metal shavings in the oil. Replacing this component in the 2009 Fit typically costs between $440 and $540, with labor accounting for roughly $340 to $440 of the total expense.
