@@justysone100 Hi, it’s performing spot-on. The oil pressure is good, and the power delivery is strong. I’ve clocked about 2,800-3,000 miles in total, and now I’m keeping it as a spare engine. In the meantime, I’m rebuilding another one, this time with ACL bearings. All the best!

@@psihopat666 It shouldn’t be shorter, the only difference that may occur would be the head of the tensioner, 24mm instead of 27mm or the other way around

Maybe the original one is too much worn out and that is the reason being little bit longer? It's strange because the corect OEM part number been ordered.

@ That could be the case yes, If you have bought the original tensioner, you can install it with confidence.

@@NinerDrivingSchool thanks appreciate it!

@@NinerDrivingSchool thanks for watching. Yes n47 n57 and every other make and model that uses timing chain can have tensioner issues

@@wass006 I will probably try to make it happen, but at the moment, I’m extremely busy. I’m working on a full engine rebuild and two accident-damaged car projects, along with managing my job. However, I can confirm that the X3 is performing flawlessly…no metal particles in the oil filter, oil pressure is good, and I’m absolutely satisfied with that rebuild

@@Tjallan123 Unfortunately, it’s not very likely… If the rattle is constant, it likely means the chain is stretched and should be replaced as soon as possible. That’s what I would personally do. Thank you for watching!

@@saudsaleem6315 Part number 11318490219 should fit the B47D20 engine. However, I highly recommend purchasing the original tensioner from the dealership. Based on your registration, always consult the dealership to ensure 100% compatibility. Thanks for watching

@ thanks, amazing content 👌🏼

@ thanks for watching

@@ignaciorodriguez5001 Not necessarily. Tensioners can fail on their own, often leaking oil and losing tensioning force if left sitting for a few hours. I’ve worked on many timing chain jobs where only the tensioner had failed, causing startup rattling, yet the timing chains showed no measurable stretch, and the plastic guides remained perfectly intact. This is on cars with 75,000 to 110,000 miles, still running their original timing chains-not aftermarket replacements of questionable quality. While replacing the timing chain is always recommended as a precaution, it’s important to note that tensioners on the N47 and N57 engines can fail independently. It’s also worth remembering that original timing chains, when stretched, will rattle continuously-not just at startup. If the rattle is only at startup, it’s usually just the tensioner

@W15Garage it may be, may be not. Too risky in my opinión with n47

@ Not necessarily. A stretched chain will rattle constantly-it won’t un-stretch itself after 5 seconds. A faulty tensioner, on the other hand, typically causes a 3-5 second rattle during a cold start.

@@SpoonTeggy can’t remember precisely but around 125000

@@markevitch1985 thanks, appreciate it! All the best

@@BigHumz155 Thanks for watching. What is the mileage of the car? A failing crankshaft sensor would cause the engine to cut out and stop, whether at idle or while driving. When this happens, you can usually restart the engine, and it may behave normally for a few days before the issue recurs. If the damper pulley is cracked, it’s a good idea to replace it as soon as possible. However, I don’t think it’s related to the crankshaft error code. I’ve experienced damper pulley failure while driving-the pulley was smashed and thrown out, and the belt was broken-but no crankshaft error code was triggered. I would recommend keeping an eye (and ear) on the timing chain.

@@BenParsonson-z8x thanks for watching, appreciate it

@@tirolekubu8578 Thanks for watching. I was disappointed too, but after the bottom-end rebuild, it’s performed well. I’m using the car for towing quite regularly. It’s also highly tuned by the previous owner, but it’s spot on. It’s worth mentioning that I’m taking extra care of the engine, with 5,000-mile 5w40 oil change intervals, warming up the engine before any hard acceleration, and regularly monitoring the oil pressure. The oil filters I remove during oil changes are consistently 100% free from any metal particles.Happy days for now! I’m planning to make a video on the two-year anniversary.

@@BigHumz155 I’ve seen that code on a B37 Mini engine-it turned out to be a stretched upper chain. You can check out the video; I’ll include a link. It’s right at the end kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGm4kGSbq62hhJYsi=AiUExief5eoCmwQR

@@nemz7505 yes it’s the coolant hose connector, common n47d20 issue. Original part is around £22 it’s worth replacing. Thanks for watching

@@drepachi77 thanks for your comment, appreciate it! At the moment I’m only a hobbyist and not set up to take on clients

Thanks for watching! I think you may have misunderstood the topic of this video. My intention is to show that a faulty tensioner can cause cold start rattling, which typically goes away after a few seconds. I’m not suggesting that replacing the tensioner will solve all N47 timing chain issues. However, I’ve encountered many cases where the chain wasn’t stretched at all, and the rattling was solely due to a faulty tensioner. I work with timing chains regularly, including snapped ones, and I can confirm that repairing them is not as daunting as it might seem. The BMW N47 engine actually handles timing chain failure quite well. It’s a myth that a snapped chain means the entire engine is ruined. In 95% of cases, this is simply not true, and I’m speaking from firsthand experience. Best regards!

@@meuer thanks for watching. It’s a home made improvised solution wasn’t the best, since then I’ve made some improvements. If i will have the time I’ll try to do a short video.

@@krashot1 In this video I’m only demonstrating how to fix a cold start chain rattling. If the rattle is present more than a few seconds after starting the vehicle, the chain is stretched and needs replacing ASAP Thanks for watching

@ i dont have rattle, i have more lik ch ch ch noise

@@robinlogdahl6341 thanks for watching. If the noise is present all the time, and noticeable on idle unfortunately that chain is stretched and needs replacing ASAP.

@W15Garage fuck! Wierd that it has hold up with The same symptom for 140.000km. AT least. Could a stretched chain give other symptoms? Dont heat The chain while revving. But The engine shakes... A LOT. O lower revs: idle-1200rpm. And beyond that it rjns smooth. No engine lights, no reduced power or such. But The shaking on low rpm/idle has also Been The same for 5+ years.. Whats your guess, symptoms from chain or something else wrong?

@ no, timing chain doesn’t cause engine to shake. A faulty injector can cause shaking, but also a lot of other thinks from faulty sensors to blocked dpf, poor compression on one or more cylinders

@@W15Garage many thanks for quick answer! 🫡

@@Talkaboutit1 thanks for watching, around 150000miles if i remember correctly

There’s no question that sprockets and chains wear out together. However, a faulty tensioner is still a faulty tensioner, especially if it only causes rattling during cold starts. Replacing it with a new original tensioner that properly maintains chain tension will not accelerate chain wear beyond its normal rate

@@ItsGrisha I would buy original
