What To Know About The Timing Chain
Your timing chain is one of the most critical components in your BMW. The timing chain is responsible for adequately timing the crankshaft’s and camshaft’s rotations. The timing chain is vital to ensuring the engine’s valves open and close correctly during combustion and cylinder firing. When the timing chain stretches out or is otherwise damaged, the engine’s function is disrupted. A timing chain break can cause internal parts to bang together, causing catastrophic engine failure if left unaddressed. Typical causes of timing chain trouble are problems with the tensioner or guide, improper motor oil that accelerates wear, and excessive mileage. Aside from these general concerns, some BMWs exhibit higher instances of timing belt failure. These include models manufactured between 2001 and 2015 and those powered by the N20 and N26 engines. It’s a best practice to have us check and service your vehicle periodically to detect and remedy any timing chain issues. However, there are also signs you may observe that should prompt you to schedule a visit. These include an illuminated check engine light, rough idling, engine misfiring, rattling when idling or moving, and metal shavings in the oil.
