I was told by a friend that the knocking sound from my engine (it goes away when i hit the accelerator) was likely the timing chain. He has a local Saab-only independent that he recommended so i stopped by and after listening to it the mechanic said i needed a new chain. My friend trusts this mechanic whole-heartedly, but my experience with mechanics leads me to question most that i have met so i'm trying to determine how he can know (just by listening) the condition of the timing chain.
It seems like i can check this myself with the information that is posted here so i will do so and hope the mechanic is just going a little 'over-kill' and all that is required is a new damper pad.
It seems pretty easy to check, no? How much time should i block to check it out? Anything i should be sure NOT to touch while i'm tinkering?
Thanks.
