A constant knocking noise and possible timing problems necessitated a recent inspection of my car's engine. As I took the engine apart, I saw that the Febi chain tensioner was broken. The chain slammed through its running cycle because the tensioner was not applying the required pressure. Because of the slack chain, even the balance shaft was bouncing, which would have caused serious harm.

My friend questioned if using such parts in the engine will earn you loyal customers. I’ve always co...

When I contacted the headquarters, they refused to provide any support, claiming the service period had passed and the vehicle was out of warranty. Ye...
