2008 Accord 2.4 timing chain BROKE

Asked by Tom Aug 17, 2023 at 11:34 PM about the 2008 Honda Accord EX-L

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was driving around 5 mph when my car died. I got codes p0340 and p0365, I
had a mechanic crack it open to see the CHAIN was snapped. I am not dealing
with a BELT. What could have caused the metal chain to break in two?

Loss of oil to the valve train, timing chain guide failure, bent crankshaft.

I've bought cars that have had NO oil change, this sounds like to be one of them~ think about it, 2008-2023 = 15 years. a faithful owner would change oil, every 3 months or perhaps a dozen fill-ups~

How many miles are on the vehicle? If you have a lot of miles on the vehicle it probably just wore out. Personally I wouldn't bother replacing the engine on a 15 year old vehicle. I'd replace the vehicle. Especially if it does have a lot of mileage on it. Jim
