fullpower Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi guys, I am wonder if anyone done the replacement for timing chain. I have an bmw f10 520d 2010 and i noticed the noise from the back of the engine, went to bmw specialist and they confirm is the timing chain, needs to be replaced, looks like is a common fault for 2l diesel engines n47. They charge £1200 + vat for the operation. Any advices? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaven Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 My car had the timing chain and crank replaced while it was under warranty, I didn't actually do the repair myself as I don't have the tools/space to do it, but I am aware of what the issues are and what needs doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Bobby , i spend £3000 with my current 520 F10 and before that i had the E320, great car . Or maybe we should have chosen the 530D???? How is 530? i don't see any timing chain problem on the internet My one was done in London, SE, DandT wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally recommend , i could have done it cheaper, but did not want to take the risk!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan is the biggest crook, ive done thr job and he used low quality chain and now after 40k miles the noise is back. He used starline instead of genuine timing chain kit. Shame shame because i paid £ 2600. Dont go to Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
