Model, year and engine would help. Im guessing it is a p12 though. Also who told you that the chain needs replacing!

think the chain stretches and affects the crank /cam angle sensors . QG18 or QR20 .

If its throwing a code for cam angle sensor then it COULD be the chain. Though I wouldn't expect it at 100k. Nor should it cost 4 large.

DEFINITELY it is not a $4000 job to replace BOTH crank angle sensors the cam chain and the tensioner in the 2.0l Primera. I'd say more like $1500.00 $4000 is to rebuild the transmission if the chain has actually broken inside.

Just replacement she said, and what ever they have to do, they are taking it to our mechanic today or tommorow,he said $4000 is a joke.so hopefully they will get good news, and so what if I carn't spell evrything right
