Corr… Another BMW eh? Here we have a very leaky 2011 BMW 320D. Before anyone starts hating on me, it was a customer requested job, he bought all the parts and so on… We are only here for the labour and nothing else.
Unfortunately, he tried re-tapping on the sump bolt and it has caused more damage than fix so here we are rectifying the fault. Even more frightening is this BMW is showing a symptom of something very catastrophic so stick around and have the pop-corn ready. LETS GET TO IT!

The man got moves 😂
Hey Guys love the Vids Keep them coming. On a side note i think you guys would really benefit from getting a canopy one that is 2.4m diameter would be great for keeping you guys dry i use one when cutting things out in the rain at the back of my van.
Alright mate, next time you do this job or a timing chain.
1# Remove the anti roll bar completely 4x 13mm nuts and 2x16mm on the drop links.
2# Undo the steering rack with the 2xE12 nuts & bolts and pull it forward, leaving it connected so you can easily access the front sump bolts.
3 # Remove the sump oil sensor & dipstick tube.
4 # Sump will come right out without lifting the engine or lowering the subframe (twist and pull)
Works on e87, e90, f20, f30, f10 basically anything that's 2wd
Great channel btw!
Ooooo! I might have to give that a go on the next one! Thank you for the tip 😁
Got a neighbour who has a 2012 320d 185,000 miles no problems. Oil changed every 5000 miles. I also have the updated B47 engine in my BMW X1 and no problems but only 13000 on the clock. Only mechanics who touch it are BMW. Problems seem to arise when fast fit mechanics try and work on BMWs and they are out of their depth. Great to see you guys using the correct torque settings.
I was made in BMW so I know how they are… well not perfect but you know what I mean!
Torque is always a must 😁
Im not saying do it but I changed only the top tensioner on a rattly 2009 2.0 n47 engine and eliminated the rattle right away. At same time changed the valve cover gaskets (do that or huge fire risk incoming) and checked the chain guides. The difference in tension between the new and old tensioner were massive. Running fine many miles later. I will add that my tensioner still had 'some' tension in it and the chain was in good order. Its not a fix, its a delay with these engines.
Totally agree!
reminds me of when i grew up working in Landrover garage. got to have humor or else we would be crazy lol. great work.
People don’t understand this- calling us unprofessional on video. In reality, we act professional when it is time to do so and + less stress = better productivity
@@themarvelousvlog i agee with you 100% we used to wind up one of the valiters, was hilarious . you are always proffesional. keep up the great work.
The pre tensioners on these can stick and not adjust to take up the slack easy to check and replace
The best and honest mechanic gbu both
Good job guys,its nice to see you having fun while you work 👍
Reduces the stress on a hard day
Quality channel. Funny and informative ❤
Love your content. Hate the N47! Wife's old 1.6 mini countryman needed to get the whole CCT, guides, chain done, and whilst they were at it, new clutch, DMFW and crankshaft pulley dampener done. Admittedly, when you consider that "sealed for life" usually equates to about 100k miles on these lumps, the materials selection, engine design and packaging make it an absolute bitch to work on.
That being said, I'm used to regularly changing the camchain tensioners on my motorbikes. The moment that machine gun kelly starts running its mouth during cold starts, you know it's time to have it replaced. Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha IL4s always had the same issues.
Great work and John nailed it with the dance moves...
Top job lads, John cracks me up every time, legend.
Thank you Jim! He is one of a kind haha
Amazing dance moves...oh and great workmanship too !!
Another top job done lads 👍love the moves 😂😂
Big job ..well done lads 👍
Anorak on - the car with the problem is an E90 saloon , the photo you have is an E92 coupe. No doubt the tensioners and chain is the weak spot on the N47 as the replacements have oil journals in them to pick up more oil. I’ve had both the 123d E82 and Alpina D3 Biturbo both with the same engine. Now I have the B3 Biturbo with N54 😂
great vid lads, i did a sump last week it was leaking in same place and been re threaded i just used liquid metal customer was satisfied and it only cost him £15
Well done mate! Hopefully that’s done it 🫡
Moves for days 💃
Another top job lads.. Respect..
Much appreciated
Unfamiliar as I am with the 4pots the 6pot (N54) engines of this generation have issues when poorly maintained and can be ok if treated right....👍👌👍
Whats happening with the B58..🫣
I'm doing Cam ledges on an N54 in a week or so, should I do a video?
About the b58… it’s coming but very very very slowly 🥱
I had a 2001 BMW 318 5-6 years ago, they have aluminium sump’s, so the metal is much softer, therefore easier to cross thread. I had two different garages cross thread and damage the sump!
First garage that did it, I didn’t realise what happened, as I just got it back from a service, that’s when I noticed drops of oil under the car, so I took it back, the mechanic said oh I probably didn’t tighten the sump plug enough, so he nipped it up, still had the same problem. So then he re-threaded it, like your customer here did, again that didn’t work, so ended up having a second hand sump fitted. Roll on the next years service at a different garage, got the car back, I saw oil under the car again, only this time I was wise to what happened at the other garage, so I took it straight back and told them it was leaking, I said “I hope they haven’t cross threaded the bolt and damaged the sump”, and I asked to go have a look myself while it’s on a ramp, and sure enough they had damaged the sump! They did admit fault, and in the end they had to fit a brand new sump BMW! I bet that mechanic got a roasting from his boss!
Wow very similar story to this!
What’s so annoying is that people don’t want to follow the torque spec because it seems ‘loose’. From what I can remember they’re only like 12-15nm, which is ‘loose’ but just gotta remember that it is an ally block and also there’s about 1000 of them holding it so no need to be tight!
I’ve got a n47 engine , it’s been the most reliable engine I’ve owned, I had the chain and guides changed as temporary measure. Not saying 100% it work all the time , but literally just looking after it will make it go for so long
Servicing with good oil 10000% helps the chain!
John is hilarious. His laughter is freaking infectious😂
He lifts up people’s spirits for sure!
"Mechanic" 🤣😂🤣😂 That keeps coming up in my head every time i see your brother.
It’s the MECHANIIQQUUEEEE 😂😂😂
@@themarvelousvlog 🤣😂🤣😂
The best part of the video is the see tinh dance of Jon😅
The first 5 minutes confirmed my suspicions. Work hard. Party harder 🥳🥳🥳
😂😂😂
Or was it the timing chain tensioner that is causing the slack? I suppose it depends on the mileage....
This one’s done well. Chain never been replaced but defo on its way out
Hahaha love the dance. Ya bro cracks me up hahaha such a character 🤣
Brilliant moves, slick😏
He should be in the strip!
Johns dancing was hilarious. Britains got talent...😂😂
He will get there hahaha!
LOVIN THE DANCE BRO❤️😜👍👍👍 watched the whole thing and that was awsome bro , see you at the next MOT😂👍❤️
He’s actually sick 😂😂😂 he should be a stripper
@@themarvelousvlog bruvva tellin you
Go Johnny Go Johnny The star of this channel.
He definitely is 😂
I think BMW did a recall on that particular engine because of known timing chain issues, definitely worth double checking.
Hats off to John he cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In a couple of years, you guys are goin be millionaires❤
We hope so bro!
Luckily nothing perished 😂
Yo it's the matt Armstrong look alike had me in bits LOL🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅👍
He’s something else hahaha
Greetings from Scotland! Nice dance! You're in the wrong business! Nah, just kidding, you guys work well together and use sound logic, always!
Johns well good at it 😂
Haha😂 John bussing moves 😂
He’s actually amazing at it 😂
Do you cover Liverpool?
I heard that placing the timing chain on the gearbox side turned out to be a major issue by BMW ; the plastic guides get cooked by the exhaust
That’s interesting… I might have to have a read about that!
Do they take potatos when they go to chip shop
Loved the dance routine 😂
John is just unreal 😂
Nice 👍
Just been researching the timing chain replacement on these engines, it suggests two days!!
Is that correct?
Depends on who’ll do it really. Can be done on the floor but a proper PITA! Can be done in about 4-5hrs
Just found your channel, why not support the engine from the top with the support that mounts on top and sits on the sides of where the bonnet sits?
Unfortunately we didn’t have it but we’re definitely going to invest for one
@@themarvelousvlog good deal. I have only really used it on bmws. Since you have customers with Minis.
On the comedy side, i heard your mate say “Aray..” 🤣 i know what he really wanted to say after that…or did you edit that out? 🤣
Thanks
I love the work you do.
Woooowww! Thank you very much! Well appreciate it!
johns the man.....
Crazy dance 🕺
haha love you guys. brilliant.
Thank you 😁
The Gremlin turns into Woody Woodpecker!
Gremlin turns in to Billie Elliot 😂😂😂
n47 is a great engine once you know you'll replace the chain, I have an F10, done the chain @ 90k, purely preventative, Put new injectors in too, done a gearbox service , she's 145 k now, regular serviced, no issues, pulls like a train, BMW say the chain & gearbox oil are "lifetime" parts (hence the design of the timing housing & gear box). for BMW & Regular BMTROUBLEYOU customers, the lifetime of the car is 100k miles max. A bmw will rob you if you don't treat her right! :)
From what I am told all the four cylinder engines are unreliable and not forgetting head gaskets
The newer B engines are much better in my opinion
All the older 4 cylinders, the 6 cylinders are much more reliable
@jonnygti BMW have perfected the 6 cylinder
Oil pump don’t have a tensioner on the chain
As mentioned…
Mechaniq
More content with your brother 🎉
Thank you mate! Hopefully we can get the Mechanique in some more too 😁
As an N54 owner you had me puckered up for a minute there haha
N54 is a solid engine… until it’s compared against the B58 😏
@@themarvelousvlog Insert that Clarkson meme of him saying "this is brilliant, but I like this" 😂 Also imo N54 still shounds better even though B58 beats it in literally every other way
100000% I don’t know why that is but N54 has just got this raspiness to it!
@@themarvelousvlog yes sir one of the biggest reason why i got one tbh, that and DCT
Came for the fix stayed for the dance
😂😂😂
You need to invest some money on hydraulic vehicle ramp😮😅
Johns the Asian version of billy elliot lol
😂😂😂😂 I am deeeaadddd
Didn't sound too bad for a cold start on a typical diesel.
If that didn’t sound bad to you, I wonder what ‘bad’ actually sounds to you 😅
@@themarvelousvlogI was joking as I thought it was actually a petrol. Lol. Jokes on me. 🙁 But seriously, it was still quieter than my Corsa diesel. 😂
Who is the older guy? Seen him in a few videos but he is never introduced
That’s my brother. Hopefully you’ll see more of him soon!
A like for the dance!
😂😂😂 thank you!
Mechanic and Dancer ,😅😅😅
That’s John 😂
Is your brother Jackie Chan?
Nah, it’s Billie Elliot 😂

I wish the government didn't ban those manholes. in denmark they are illegal, so if you find a house for sale with them, it's either filled up with concrete or it's referred to as a "potatobasement". which has to be filled up.. If I ever find a house that has it unfilled, i'll keep that sucker open.
They’re not illegal here in the UK but they are now illegal to be built due to health and safety
Years and years ago, my parents built a garage behind their house. My great idea was to dig a pit in the garage so that I could work on the car. My idea was vetoed, even though I volunteered to dig it myself. Even got the bricks to line it (secondhand). That was getting on for 50 years ago. Garage is still there, bricks are still there but no pit. Somehow I don’t think I’m going to bother now 😂
Yeehaw
Dancer mechanic 😅
He’s something else he is 😂
Aray ko hahahha
Sakit daw eh 😂
I bet it was stripped by a dealer mechanic
I hope not 😂
First 😅
shutup
Ooooh tough guy 👍
Respect to the knowledge of the hard working men! I sub to both of you, if you’re ever in Kent my work van is always suffering after 1200 miles a week 😅
2:30 dude why are you wearing your gran's reading glasses? Questions...
I’m blind!

"Mechanique"
We love Mechanique 😂
@@themarvelousvlog Its should be said after every repair 😂😂
Little frustrating that we have to endure adverts prior and with advert breaks in the video but now have to skip through trying to avoid then embedded in the video as well.
Sorry 😅
I hate when people say brand new second hand no no no it's second hand period stop saying it's brand new when it's second hand it's cringe cringe cringe
Bizarre. Fix twice pay more.
Defo one of the worst engines!
Hi been trying to contact u on Instagram no response. Sent you my number.
Range Rover evoque clutch has gone. Please respond
i had N42 and when you hear rattle noise at start of cold engine its not much time left before the whole thing blows up (whole engine is destroyed)
At least they’re easier to do than the N47 😂
