mazda3 mps 56 plate
hi had to put my mazda 3 mps in the garage to have the timing chain checked i have been told i need new timing chain as it has stretched a tensioner oil pump and tensioner have had these done. garage didn't change the variable valve timing unit was told that the unit will put itself right in time but my car is stalling, popping from the exhaut and juddering when in low gear or stopped. Anyone have any idea if this will sort itself out or where I can get a valve at a good price thanks Dave.
 
You may want to try the Mazda speed 3 forum for more help but it sounds to me like you got screwed. Timing chains rarely stretch and even if it did and they fixed it they lied to you. No timing issue will fix its self they didn't set the timing properly take it back and make them fix it before it drops a valve and destroys your motor
