    Hello/Salut! I just wanted to say that based on your advice(among others) I went ahead and bought my dream car: 123d M Sport with Aerodynamic Pack(very rare). 155k km with oil changes made every 7500km. Keep up the good work! I believe that a lot of your videos may apply to the 1 series as well.

    hello, the car i bought (e90 320d LCI 2011) had the chain swapped at 205.000km, now it has 235.000km but it only cost him 500 eur so i am suspicious if the chain is bad quality? should i change it anyway and buy the best quality one?

    I thought it was very unlikely that my car would have timing chain problems, it was built in November 2013, but at 130,000 miles/210,000km the chain started to rattle when I started the car from cold. I think every N47 will need chain replacing at some point, it just depends how it's been looked after, if the oil changes are more frequent it'll last longer before it needs changing. Expensive job but once it's done the engine will last a long time.

  • @che1878
    @che1878 Před 2 lety +1

    My BMW (320d, Exclusive edition, 2011, have it for over 3 years) got it's timing chain done at 150k miles, and now I have to change it again (30k miles later) as the sliders torns out and plastic particles choke the oil pump ( the car shows low oil engine pressure ). Never got any problems before that( biggest repair were changing coil springs and shock absorbers), changing oil and filters every 6k miles. Just praying to the Motor Gods the car to stay alive ... 🙏

      Thanks! Than I'm relieved, because I was looking for a 320i. It seems to be a n46 engine. Do you know if there a problems with the panorama roofs? I read on a forum that someone had a leak and a new one would cost about 2000 euro. Further, some people are complaining about that it's noisy. Think it's better to choose a closed roof, than I'am certain I won't have any problems ;).

    • @DrMeize
      @DrMeize  Před 5 lety

      if you have a problem with the roof you could easily replace the seals and it will not cost you more than 500 dolars ...max ...even less if you do it by your self.. so go and buy your dream car and don't worry 'cause in most cases there is a easy fix ;)

    Hello urbandriver. Thank you very much for the video. I am planning to buy a 2014 bmw 118d urban line(built 29/04/2014 according to the vin check and also it had a single recall which is fuel line pressure recall issued 2016 in korea) . It is now clocking 90000 km. No noises no rattling . Do you think it still has the n47 engine up to 2011. Or it has an n47 updated with new timing chain and tensioners after 2011 (according to PuMA recall) because i fear that yes it is a 2014 car but has a 2003-2009 engine. Really i didnt heard any timing chain problem after 2013. Hope you reassure me coz really i do love the car. As for oil change it has a service every 6-7000 km. Do you think its the cause of no chain noises. Thank very much

      ​@@sahlimohamedaziz1560 From my research BMW made some big changes after 2011 to reduce stress for the chain, but that has to do mainly with peak force & resonace from the crank and oil pump. On the B47/57 engine series they improved it even more, that's why they use essentially the same chain but have alot less problems.

    Spre informarea ta, kit-ul de distributie are 3 lanturi nu doar 2 cum ti-au schimbat tie "bajeti" de la Team Service, parerea mea dupa ce am fost la ei ca sunt niste jepcari, nu recomand sa mergeti la ei.Sunati si intrebati cate lanturi schimba si daca uleiul si filtru este inclus o sa vedeti ca nu si daca le adauga va costa mai mult ca la reprezentanta.Nu vreau sa jignesc ma abtin, sa invete sa scoata senzori fara sa rupa suporti sau chesti esentiale, ma bucur ca am renuntat sa merg la ei a costat mai mult sa repar ce au stricat . In fine schimbati distributia daca nu aveti un istoric BMW pe bune nu asteptati sa se auda, o sa cedeze.

If i push the gas to raise the rpm to between 800-1000rpm it goes away. (urban do u know if its same problem?) I know that the slave cylinder also had to be replaced after the transmission replacement (a second time they had to dismount the tranny) before my ownership. anyway; The slave cylinder connects to aid the fork that connects to lever when shifting. requires tranny dismount to fix if u need.,. but mine has been like that long and just think the idle is set to low. no big problem

      my service gave me 100k km warranty and so I just don't care about that ...now I am over 20.000 km and all good. I think that when I am going to approach that treshold I will change it again . So yeah , hope it helps !

      Yeah it has big time i have just had mine changed after and engine rebuild N47 4 cylinder the timing jumped, the cost was astronomical £4,800 it was the tensioners although i did not know that as i had bought the 320D M Sport Coupe a month before it just died although it was making a noise like a ticking after it was warm - and audit-able in the cabin. Thank you -

    Salut! :) Eu am un X3 2008 cu acest motor 2.0 177CP N47 (Cutie Automata) . Am dus masina la service ptr schimbat distributia. Au descoperit ca trebuie schimbata si admisia ptr ca era infundata si imbacsita. Niste parti din clapetele de la admisie erau rupte si cazuse in motor , au zis ca am ajuns la limita si ca mai aveam putin si ramaneam fara motor dar am scapat. La cati KM recomanzi schimbarea uleiului la acest motor si ce marca de ulei sa folosesc? Cati km pot sa merg estimativ cu noua distributie ? 100 k sau mai putin/mult ?

  • @Maxspert
    @Maxspert Před 6 lety +1

    You are right up to some point,but I believe you are not mechanic or whit no much experience on this kind of engines.The main problem is not the sliders,is the tensioner,which need oil presure and internal coil spring.If the chain is not rather the solucion is change the tensioner only.But if already the sliders an the rest of the timing chain is dammage,changing the tensioner you only, you will extend his life a little before he breaks.

    • @DrMeize
      @DrMeize  Před 6 lety

      Please go and discuss the problem with a bmw dealer specialist and then come and share what you have learned.

The original bmw recall kitt has not only the tensioner inside to be replaced it has all of the things I ve explained in the video ;)

    • @DrMeize

      Yes on his matter you are right . There are a lot more engines from different brands with almost the same problem but not that discussed and high number of cars sold.
