83 BMW 135i N54 E82 - Troubleshoot - Engine Timing, P1328 2E69 Knock Sensor High Input Code

[@johnlindley8323]

Im Glad you've finally got it sorted , I've been watching your progress since day one and it inspired me to rebuild my n53 engine which I've now finished and is running fine. The locking pins on these engines are a pain to get to especially removing the intake manifold, thanks again from the uk

Thanks for your support. Happy it helps. I will have more video to post in the following weeks. I want to make one that will be a summary of the videos (a clear list). Also, I want to post one about things I found/learn along the way - things to pay attention to.

Hey man, great content. I have watched almost the whole channel in 2 days time. Bought a 335i wagon, and lasted just 2 days, crank seized on the bearing 4 out of 6 :/ so I got a spare engine with good crank, collecting parts now and soon total refresh of the spare one . I see no more videos... how is the car and engine keeping up lately? How was the break in period, anything special that you encounter? Thanks , greetings

[@quebecdiy9906]

Sorry about your misadventure! :( Glad the my channel is a good help to you. I have a few more videos to shoot, but I won't be able short term (pretty tied up into other things at the moment). Meanwhile, car is doing good. Break in period... I just ran it smooth (about 3,000 rpm) max for the first about 5,000km to give it a chance to settle properly. Then I changed the oil (sooner than normal oil change) to get rid of any potential thing in the oil. And that's about it. Pretty much everything encountered has been covered in the videos on the channel. Video "00 BMW 135i N54 E82 - Videos List and notes" is your best place to start (you probably already knew) since it is the complete list of related videos. The videos toward the end, are the ones addressing issues that came up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHXPlKt-arCBftE

How has it been driving?? Would love to see an update video!

Just randomly got 2E69 knock sensor 2 signal high code while cruising. Deleted it and turned on the car and it would cut power randomly and throw the code. No knocking noise and car boosts fine. Hoping its just the sensor (145k miles original sensor) and not something more.

[@quebecdiy9906]

Hope for you as well it is just the sensor. Just in case you didn't know... When you delete a code, the computer is going to realize (once again if the anomaly is still there) that something is wrong. Then it will manage your engine/injection in a weird way trying to troubleshoot itself over a certain period of time. That can explained the behavior you had (would cut power). Wish you the best inexpensive and smooth fix!

My 335 (n54) started making a knocking noise, check engine light came on, drive it home parked it and pulled the oil filter and saw tiny tiny metallic flakes (bronze color) I scanned the code (knock sensor 2 high input). Could my timing be off maybe jumped a tooth and messed up the sprockets ? Or bearings are done ?

[@quebecdiy9906]

Skipping a tooth: unlikely, unless you have a problem with your binder Bearing done: perhaps, but might be other things My guess is you didn't make such a mistake, but did you put in low octane fuel? If you are not use to go down deep mechanic, just make sure you can back track if you need to. Than consider sending your car to the dealer or a specialized garage with BMWs. First you can drop your engine oil if you are about to any ways. Try to see if you have metal flakes in it as well. (might be difficult as many devices have the oil go straight in a container). Second of, you will have to remove your cylinder head cover and inspect visually what is wrong. You might have to turn your engine through the crank pulley, turning it clock wise with a wrench. This will allow you to see if every thing seems to work properly You can also check on BMW forums to see if anybody else went through something similar. I wish you the best in your research/inspection. Wish you a quick and cheap fix. Let me know how it went, what you found.
