How likely is the K3 cam chain tensioner to fail?
As per title really, how likely are they to fail as they are self adjusting?
My front seems to be getting louder and louder and i would just like to know before i shell out on a new one Ta |

whip it out and have a look, they are self adjusting but can sometimes get stuck in a fixed position

Re: How likely is the K3 cam chain tensioner to fail
I remember something about this being a common problem for SVīs as flymo says take it out and have a look if it is getting louder, I believe if you do a search for it you will find others have had similar requests and there is a step by step guide on how to do it.
