I have a Explorer 02 with 95Km. I brought my Explorer to a ford dealership yesterday because the motor makes noise (Sounds like pinging noise ) between 2000 and 3000RPM. I explained to them that I think it the problem is the timing chain and they agreed with me. They did a quick diagnose and confirm that it is the timing chain that's making noise. They asked if I had extended warranty, I said no. They proceeded to tell me that I should not spend any money that it will not break anytime soon and not to worry it will last as long as 300km and probably longer. There comment took me by surprise, I was expecting to hear that work need to be done before the timing chain goes. I was ready to put up a fight and go all the way to court if I had to. Should I believe those guys ? Should I worry ?
