Is there a problem with the timing chain on a Honda 2012 CRV.
Asked by mlocher Dec 13, 2016 at 07:01 AM about the 2012 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
The dealer quote me $1400 to change out the chain, gears and tension
assembly. There is only 135K miles on the car. All the suggested maintenance
services have been performed religiously at a cost of sever thousands of
dollars.

look in your owners manual for recommended change interval. Find a reputable service shop or an individual trained in these things. It shouldn't cost 1400. It's not that difficult of a job.
Agree with the poster above, take it to a mechanic, not the dealer, unless you like spending money. It also makes sense to do the water pump at the same time as a timing chain.
2012 CRV with only 58700 miles told by dealer (after 3 trips to 3 dealers)!!! Needs new timing belt! Are you serious?? $1400. Are you serious! Local mechanic checking now! Please respond!!
