My purpose is to encourage people to do things themselves!
Plus, this is a nice hobby for myself and at the same time I have the opportunity to save a lot of money by doing all the maintenance myself!
I’m not a professional with cars or motorcycles, I just want to learn how to do things myself.
If you do this service yourself, always check the correct instructions in the official service manuals. This is just my way of doing it!

Thank you sooo much man! Your videos helped me and encouraged me to replace the chain myself and I did it!

[@wanmonster2845]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video, help me alot on how to diy on this N13 motor. Hopefully you will do a full video on how to rebuild this N13 engine. Thank you for the guide and step by step process. Awaits for you next content. You are the best teacher😊😊👍👍

[@ManoT-fv1hy]

Thanks for this video, will save me lots 👏🙌

[@rolandgovender5791]

Thank you your video was a very helpful

[@mentorman6285]

Thanks for sharing Great content- found it very informative Just changed mine & it cost a lots of Rands

[@damionatherton7312]

Thank you so much 💓

[@matteobragato4228]

Hi! When filling up the coolant, did you start the engine with the air filter off? Doesn't that possibly damage the engine?

[@77luisf]

Hi Jani, thanks a lot for your videos. They are very very usefull. I have an F20 118i auto from 2013 and will do some maintenance with your videos. Now it has 102000Km. Major problems : false alarm from expansion tank and oil consuption. I saw you resolve oil consuption with valve steam covers replacement.....but before trying that i will change valve cover: notice some little oil leaking all over edges and spark plugs are a bit wet with oil.....my question : why didn’t you put loctite seal product all around in metal edges? Thanks again for your educational vids.

[@jackg7492]

Hi Jani, just wanted to say thanks very much for your excellent videos, I have the same car and will be doing my own maintenance... Your work is fantastic! 👍

[@joegoh1968]

I wish you had done this video 3 years ago. I had to replace my valve cover and there was no manual around.

[@owenjones2931]

Your videos are excellent, I'm going through the process myself - where do you find all the torque settings for the engine bolts? BMW reference information is hard to find online (I am replacing a head gasket). Also - did you re-use the cam sprocket bolts or replace them?

[@williamherbomez1223]

Merci super

[@amirardi8857]

Hey man, thanks for the videos, I really enjoy them. I have a question, though: is the position of the VVT on the camshaft important? I lock the crankshaft and camshaft precisely as you show, but I am not sure if it will work when I try to put it back.

[@jackg7492]

Hi Jani, What is normal oil usage for this engine? Cheers, Jack

[@zsoltjonas649]

Hi Jani. where can the cooling water be drained completely? Thanks Zsolt.

[@jackj2182]

Hi do u know the torque spec for the serpentine tension please? N13 also

[@satti7775]

That is so helpful video could you please tell us how much it cost? And can u do it for me mine has same issue too I have bmw 116i 2005

[@mrspriggandv9472]

Hello just quick question does have a timing mark in the cam gear to the chain?

[@7shaneel]

it would be nice to add the parts number as well. well done :)

[@TeroM86]

Hello. From which manufacturer you bought timing set?

[@user-mi1jb5wg7i]

Hello, the torque wrench your using is it the same all the way through the build and what brand and type is it thank you, a grave quoted me thousands to do this repair so doing it myself thank you

[@thebricoapple5134]

Hello excuse me you can change timing chain on m50b20 bmw e34 520i Please

[@HB-wu4kg]

kiitos etukäteen ja hienosta videosta. Kertoisitko? Saisiko lainattua jostakin BMW N13 ajoitus , lukitus työkalut? vai onko pakko ostaa?

[@RBDET25]

Hello what temperature do you get on idle and while driving? What is normal for these engines please

[@Marcell-ux7rb]

Hi Jani , do you have a video on how to change the timing chain on n43 318i 2008 ? Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@JaniVoutilainen]

Hi! Watch my video series of rebuilding the N43 engine. It also includes a timing chain: kzbin.info/aero/PLFua3BdQQbC-1ra85BIaLGknOZHuAgouq

[@betounivazo3452]

Hello friend, I have a problem with my mechanical BMW 114i 2014 N13 1.6 turbo engine. The car vibrates and has no power when driving, an unstable relationship. I changed the injectors, the pressure can pump, we tuned the car, new spark plugs, new coils and the problem remains the same. Have you ever experienced a similar problem?

[@razvanursache9493]

Apparently it's easier to replace it on BMW than Mini and Peugeot because of the way of the engine placement. Otherwise the engine is the same as Mini and Peugeot/Citroen.

[@PUREPRODUCES]

Hi I replaced my timing chain I followed your video step by step and I now have a engine light on for camshaft intake stuck would really appreciate your advice on this

[@JaniVoutilainen]

Sad to hear! Did you solve the problem? Hard to say what has gone wrong...

[@Jokesxxl]

Yesterday is replaced my timing chain with youre guide! Tank you very much for sharing!! How much oil does youre f20 use?

[@JaniVoutilainen]

Great that the video has been helpful! 👍 I haven’t been following oil consumption so closely, but I think consumption is normal

[@Jokesxxl]

Mine use about 1 litre at 2500km… replaced already the pcv membrane valve etc, but stil some oil inside the inlet. Should i replace the complete valve cover? Couldnt find any cracks

[@currysini85]

@@Jokesxxl Try other oil! 0W40 or 5W40 with BMW LL01 worked fine for me. Now it needs 1 Liter oil on 10.000 km. The "recommended" 5-30 LL04 (which is designed for Diesel-Engines) is burning up on the pistons since oil-temp is already sitting around 115-130°C. Same reason the oil looks tarish after 2000-3000 km.

[@Jokesxxl]

@@currysini85 yes i replaced 1 month ago the oil with Liqui Moly 5W40 top tec 4100. Oil consumption is now 0.3liter @ 2000km! Car has done 139.000km. The only thing what doesn’t make clear for me is that the fuel consumption and power is better with 95 e10 than on 98 e5 fuel. The car is tuned to 225HP.

[@currysini85]

@@Jokesxxl I use the same oil! Will get even better, when the piston rings are cleaning up again 😉. Mine is around 140.000 km with the same Stage 1. Now the chain seems to need a replacement. Well I had knocking with E95 under full trottle.

[@SuperBasshunters]

Engine looks dirty under the valve cover :( Do you reccomend to change tensioner at 60000km?

[@JaniVoutilainen]

It is worth changing in good time. My car has been driven about 160 tkm and it had broken like in the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZW9Z5arpt5pb6M Easy to change, and no expensive investment. I can't say the exact kilometer limit, but I know it's worth changing in good time! 😉

[@Jokesxxl]

Why do you install the old tensioner before when you turning the engine by hand? And witch brand of chain set did you use? Did you had also oil consumption and gone after changing the chain?

[@JaniVoutilainen]

Timing chain set is bmw original set. There is other brands with good quality cheapr prices that you can use if you want 👍. Used old chain tensioner, becouse I want to show and compare elognation with new chain vs old chain in previous videos. Its recomended, that you tighten chain tensioner once.

[@Jokesxxl]

@@JaniVoutilainen thankyou for you’re feedback, ive ordered the Febi kit, hopefully it will last. But did you had also oil consumption?

[@JaniVoutilainen]

Febi is Ok. I used Febi brand for timing chain set for E91 with n43 couble years ago. Oil consumption of mine F20 was normal 👍

[@Jokesxxl]

Mine uses around 1liter @ 2500km… changed already pcv membrane, looking for vacuumleaks, cleaned my intake valves. It has only 126k on the clock… you got some ideas? Its the 2013 114i version.

[@ubuntutorials]

Hy Jani, Thanks for the video .. two questions if you may .. 1. I see that are for sale timing kits with and without the inlet/outlet camshafts (11367545862 / 11367536085). (The difference in price is quite considerable between the two) A worn chain doesn't affect in time also the camshaft wearing it ? ... (wearing the teeth). When would be recommended to also change the camshafts? 2. Do you have any recommendation for a specific kit manufacturer ? In my country VAICO sells a full kit with camshafts .. next in quality/price would be FEBI Bilstein (without the camshafts) Thanks in advance

[@clintstechtips6571]

Timing chains are supposed to last the life of a car. Anytime honda or toyota put timing chains in their engine they are pretty much good. The rest of the car falls apart first before the engine. BMW and german cars in general on the other hand, your tyres will probably last longer than the chains. What a farce.

[@blame182]

it has oil dipstick oO

[@JaniVoutilainen]

Thin engine model, Yes it has! 😁

[@fxly]

Why oh why a plastic guide rail 😅

[@JaniVoutilainen]

I think the metal chips in the oil sump are worse than the pieces of plastic 😉

[@alexbuza1550]

Because it is less noisy, probably?

[@bijdikh8516]

There's a special place in hell for just about every single N series BMW engine. N12, N13, N14, N16, N18, and the twin turbo N54 engine are all garbage. I don't care about the tuning potential of the N54, it's trash and belongs in the dump. I did oil changes on my N18 every 3000 miles with a filter change, and did every other service you could ask for. Changed the PCV valve just as preventative maintenance, changed coolant at 95k miles, changed both front and rear brakes recently, and changed my spark plugs at 100k miles. Despite that, the car was leaking oil from the oil filter housing, it started a new vacuum leak from the valve cover, the EVAP system started failing despite no wiring issues and not having any EVAP leaks, the Airbag system was failing from god knows where, the timing chain tensioner failed at 104k miles despite the whole assembly being replaced at 70k miles, and the engine now has misfire issues when trying to give it anymore than a quarter throttle.

[@franzbaur2766]

BMW wäre ein gutes Auto wenn in ihren Motoren nicht so ein schlechter Dichtgummi und sehr schlechter Kunststoff verwendet würde.

[@adibsilo2089]

Bitte kannst du schicken Telefonnummer weil ich möchte Frage

[@enjoylife756]

Itsellä vaihdettu 2019 Laakkosella koska venymä jolloin 85k mittarissa,nyt 127. Kohta varmaan pitää vaihtaa uudestaan ettei paska leviä ihan kokonaan 🤣 On nää hyviä tekeleitä 👎 Mikään ei oo vieläkään saanu mua vakuuttuneeks että uusi versio kestäisi yhtään paremmin 👎

[@JbernardH]

Hello, I have replaced a timing chain same engine to this exact procedure, the engine was rough before but now runs smooth, 2 codes appeared after driving vehicle for vanos, any help you can offer? P13c9 and p13c0.
