Switch off the stop start function too, keep stopping and starting is the second hardest thing to do to a timing chain, the first being leaving oil changes for too long

I watched many videos on youtube they were all useless. Your video is perfect why? Because while you replaced the timing chain you explained everything very well and the video is clear and not fast or cutting off the important parts. Well done!

Thats what you call a nice and perfect job,love it when people know what they doing and what are they taking about.

Thanks a million my brother, may the Lord continue to bless you as you bless others.

Really helpful video..I've just done my first timing chain on a Mini All4 ..the top guide had disappeared into the sump and the chain was running on the bolts that hold the guide ..luckily it still drove ..😮🤞🏻

I’ve been a bmw text for over 20 years. Your vid’s are inspiring me to work at home instead of the shop I’m Currently employed at

Great video Woody, massive thanks for the detailed video 👍

Thanks Woody, a very informative video. Much appreciated!👌👍

Absolutley clean and simple video! watched a coupple other which made me slightly nervous, this made me feel like I can do this!! :DD

Good video, love that engine, used to have an F15 with an N57, got rid of it before that job needed doing which was a real shame

Very well done and informative! Thank you.

very happy with this service , only problem is the guides , new revised ones would be great

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS OUT THERE. MY X5 DIESEL 2014 NEEDS THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED AT 120K MILES. THE BMW DEALERSHIP ESTIMATED ME FOR 14K TO DO. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY VEHICLE WAS VISITED FOR MAINTENANCE BY ONLY THE DEALERSHIP. ACCORDING TO AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC THAT SPECIALIZES ON BMW DIESEL, HE STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE OIL CHANGE WAS BEING REPLACED BY THE COMPUTER READOUT OF 10K MILES. IN ADDITION, THE STOP AND GO FEATURE CREATES TENSION TO THE TIMING CHAIN….LIKE HOW MUCH ARE YOU SAVING ON DIESEL FUEL WHEN CAR SHUT OFF FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE IT TURNS ON TO PROCEED WITH DRIVING?? MY VEHICLE WILL BE FIXED AND WILL NOW GET OIL SERVICE EVERY 3,500 MILES.

Great technical video .Im doing ne pf these in next few weeks.Engine in car .should be fun!

Awesome video! Thank you!

You're great! Lots of learn from you! Though i wish to watch the video before i tighten the hell out of that oil pump bolt!

Wow man you are pretty good work. I like it man

Great video! In other guides some turn the high pressure fuel pump sprocket and axle about 180 degrees (about 8 o clock) before they assembly the new chains even tough the cams and crank is locked with locking tools. Why turn that when nothing else is turned?

I think we should say pin wear not chain stretche oil changes are the way to avoid this problem nice job thanks for the video its not a bad job when gearbox is removed but is a shame they put the chain in the back of engine they are great engines apart from this problem

Great vid. Much clearer and more precise than others I've seen. Are the torque specs and processes the same on both n47 and n57? Also, does anyone know if there's any variation on the Mini cooper diesel N47?

great video..

10/10 👍👍 But boy oh boy my N47 making noises. 😭

Thanks for the video, where did you get side engine mount bracket?

Hello, how to put the key on for the crankshaft correctly, there are two holes, you put it in the first one and I saw a video where they put it in the second one.

I thought you tighten the cam sprocket bolts once you time using the fly wheel locking pin. That handle you use is in a different place to the flywheel one ?

WhT was the reason to do rod bearings if you don’t mind. I’m getting ready to do My timing chains on the same engine.

good work

Is the desile pump timed to eny marks or does it not mater as its just a high pressure pump

Do you have to remove the engine to do this or just remove the gearbox and do it from underneath? Ive got a x6

Woody is that tool you are using for holding the crank just the one that sets the pump timing at the 45degrees before tdc. I thought the main pin type locking tool thst goes through the cover plate and into flywheel is what needs to be in for setting crank to cam timing? Thanks Sam

Great content woody, I'm here in the UK. Are you using Febi chains or genuine? I'm having Febi timing chain installed, is it a decent part?

Did you use a genuine bmw chain or aftermarket one?

What is purpose of slots in sprocket never seen it in any engine

Good video, I'm curious though, why did you change the FIP sprocket and not the cam too? (And I know the crank one can't be changed, so why bother changing any of them?). I need to change the chain etc on my 2010 330d N57🙁(145k miles)

Hi mate have you got part numbers for tools and parts needed for job also video on engine removal Merry Xmas lee

Is it possible to do this on a car by just removing transmission ?

Great video. But have you also set the high-pressure pump to the correct position?

Can you guess how much it would cost to do it?

What is the cost ? for n47

There are a few theories on the reason a cam chain is used there, another I'd heard was they're not supposed to wear out so won't need touching - on some cars this seems to be true, others, not so. Here in the UK, BMW have a big fleet market, companies who buy them as company cars for employees, so service costs are a consideration, and some believe BMW have been a little optimistic with the oil change intervals, the reduction in oil quality as it ages in the engine being a prime suspect in the early demise of these chains. As far as pedestrian safety goes, hey, if Charles Darwin and the Grim Reaper are helping someone across the road, why should the rest of us watch out for them?

I like the idea of making a safety feature for pedestrians when you hit them. They know who buys their rigs xD

The first reason is true, in Europe, they have different safety standards that are different than in North America. As for the reduced stress on the chain drive, the transmission torque converter as a larger shock absorber. Still not an ideal place for a timing chain.

I have a 2016 BMW 535D n57 and it's running strong. 110k miles. Is there anything you recommend to do besides pulling engine out to do new tensioners like higher viscosity oils, or 4-5 oil intervals? I do 5k on mine and use a good additive called Lubeguard. Anyway man

I think I heard the tensioners are not oil pressure related like older tensioners. So oil pressure has less to do with tensioner life. Let me know what you think bro.

One last question. I see 2014-15 n57 and n47 failures a lot. But not 2016+. Did they change tensioners by 2016+?

Changing oil at the back is much easier then changing it front, my own opinion. :)

Here in Europe so many diesel engines has the chain at the back not only BMW

Mate I doing a n47 engine I own garage and done 100s belts and chains but never a bmw and I’m confident but one thing I need to ask does injector pump need timing up as I never seen u lock it up or paint mark it ??? Many thanks top vid by the way 👍

It doesn't seem like it needs timing as it's just a pump and works exactly the same at all angles of rotation. Same with the oil pump too. 👍

@@Scouter98 You answered your own question, you just need to think about it a little rather than emotionally responding to me because my initial comment rubbed you the wrong way. Also, those similarities you listed are inconsequential to the topic at hand, all 3 of them. Common rail - irrelevant. Direct injection - irrelevant. Fuel pump driven by the crankshaft - irrelevant (and obvious as it's not going to be driven by gremlins). Once again, try to put your feelings towards BMW aside (as they're clearly negative, possibly from personal experience) and look at it from a standpoint of a car manufacturer with its own history and brand reputation.

chains dent stretch, they wear, the links and pins wear causing the length to increase

It's less about the chain and more about the tensioners that cause the chain wear

It’s really simple. Most last 100k miles with regular oil changes. BMW view 100k as life

Do i need to replace chain always? After each 100k km?

No just if it's stretched or if the tensioner not working.

It's not only bmw.. also mercedes does this, in both vans as big trucks.. and there are more. Ofcourse in trucks it's with gears not a chain

Replace the oil pump while you're at it, they are known to fail.

Sure, they are so cheap, just replace it. Replace the turbo as well, to be on the safe side.

Good job man, keep it up

A truly dreadful design. I know. I have suffered the failure. No number of oil changes will correct the design faults. The real problem is one familiar to many countries. It is: "Not Invented Here". Thus, G.M. in the early thirties started using inverted tooth cam chains on their camshaft drives. Nearly all Japanese motorcycle and car engines use such a chain which is not generally prone to failure. But BMW? No. we did not invent it, so will not use it.

@mickeypopa

Any chain will stretch after long enough use when subjected to enormous mechanical stress, no matter the design. There's no getting around that, it's just a matter of time. You can however extend their life by regular oil changes at 10k kms or less and using premium engine oil.

@@Scouter98 Yeah I agree, planned obsolescence is definitely a thing but since we're aware of it we need to make sure to work around it and preemptively replace parts that are obsolete and also invest extra money to adhere to a strict maintenance schedule. I love my 2015 530d F10, I love how it looks, I love how it sounds, I love everything about it. And if that means spending extra money to keep it running smoothly - so be it.
