Hi Guys,
Sorry if you've already talked about this (from what I've seen, I think you have). First of all, let's talk about the car.
Mazda 6 (2010) 2.2L Sport (Reg: L). I'm the second person to own the car, and I've had it for about 3–4 years. Mileage so far: 65925.
So, the DPF light began to flash last Sunday. I took it to a local expert who will put it on the computer to see what the error code is. Here are the results:
Code: P1336 Cam/Crank sensor problem; DPF levels are high; advised that the DPF isn't being cleaned because the timing chain is stretched.
They did the test for £90 and said that fixing it would cost more than £1400. Some people also say it's an 18-hour job. I only paid for the test. Today, I took it to a different shop to get a second opinion because when I called a few people, I got different answers.
Just got a call from the second shop, which confirmed that the same problem code was given. They went on to say that they are almost 90% sure that the timing chain needs to be replaced, but they would need to check the timing first. That would set me back £216 plus VAT.
If they need to repair the chain, that and the other checks will cost me more than £1000.
When I told the Mazda shop what was wrong, they said they could fix it next Tuesday. They would check again (for free), and the whole thing would cost me £1018.
I've been looking online and on this site, and I'm starting to have trouble figuring out what the problem is and how much I should expect to pay to fix it.
Need help? please?
