According to the factory specifications, the Hyundai i10 is equipped with a timing chain. This vehicle features a belt for the exhaust camshaft and a chain for the intake camshaft. While the timing chain is designed to last the lifetime of the car, issues may arise from wear and tear or a faulty timing chain tensioner. When this happens, the timing chain may stretch or warp, causing the vehicle to experience rough running, delays, or stalling. You may also notice a loud noise when starting the engine cold. The average cost to repair the timing chain is typically between $250 and $300, but this can vary depending on the labor required for removal and replacement.
