Frequently asked questions

What does the timing chain guide do?
The timing chain guide bears against the primary timing chain, controlling its path between the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. It damps chain whip and keeps the chain correctly located. This one fits the Defender 2.2L Puma diesel engine.
Why does a timing chain guide need replacing?
Timing chain guides wear and can crack with age and mileage. A worn guide lets the chain rattle and slap, often heard as noise on start-up, and in bad cases the chain can jump timing. It is usually renewed with the chain.
Is fitting the timing chain guide a DIY job?
Fitting a timing chain guide is typically a specialist job. It needs the timing cover removed and the engine locked with timing tools to keep valve timing correct, so it is not usually a straightforward home repair.
Which Defender does this fit?
This primary timing chain guide fits the Land Rover Defender from 2007 to 2016 with the 2.2L I4 Puma diesel engine.
