The timing chain (and guides) seem to wear quicker on the 2000 and up engines (B205/235) than they did before.
Why, I don't know but since it seems to be more lubrication problems on these engines too, it might be connected.
I don't know how much of an in dept study they made to be able to make the "about to blow" comment but they would probably have had to remove the valve cover and timing chain tensioner at least to be able to make a decent scientific evaluation of how bad it is.
Or they might have just wanted to make some quick money?
What was the fault code that triggered the check engine light to come on?
