    I did my timing chain this weekend everything went smooth, but i got a fault code on crankshaft sensor signal. Have i broken it or what do you think? Car takes few extra secounds to start also because of it, no wierd sound or anything, also runs smooth when it starts.
    Crank and cam is in the right place, when i lock cam with tool it fits good also when i lock flywheel with the tool.

      I agree with DR T . Many garages in Liverpool will not take on BMW timing chain replacement some reason
      Mine is currently off the road for now due to timing chain. Not snapped but making awful noise so not taking the gamble until it's replaced. Crazy the prices though. £900 and some £1700 +
      Don't mind the cost but the difference in prices makes you wonder are the cheaper ones not doing a decent job or is it the garage who quoting more ripping you off 🤔

      If you haven't align the mark on the fuel pump, engine will still run but
      It's recommended to ensure groove on high-pressure fuel pump shaft aligned with lug on timing case.

    Mainly reason why timing chain fail, is lack of oil change. Cold start hard driving,down shifting ect.Service interval by Bmw 30.000 km its way to much out of mind.
    Use best oil 5w30 LL and do your oil change often 10.000-15.000km and trust me ,you won't have this type of issues..

The problem is most garages you give them the car then it comes back with something else that needs doing when there was nothing wrong with the car when it went in! or if it all ok by far im 100% sure that they will miss something like a nut or a bolt!! if any one can do it is you :) ... saying this mine dont need doing but would do it now rather than later lol

    The n47 c and d engine is not as bad of break fast. Thing to do is every 7/8k doing early oil change, bmw idrive service is crap. And swap to 5w-30 or some use 5w-40.
    0w-30 is too thin of an oil.
    Also driving only local is never good for this engine.
    My uncle used to have a 2011 e90. His driving was only traffic every day, his engine started going bad.

      @Nagato is better than Punk Naruto This might be a dumb question, I don’t have much mechanical knowledge but I’m going to try to do this on my own n47 engine. When you’re putting the flywheel back on and realligning it with the locking tool, should the crankshaft also allign with the tipex or are they separate?

    brilliant video. I have followed your video to replace my timing chain. I have a question, I have the timing tool. but I don't have the crankshaft locking tool. I also took your advice to take my camshaft out to inspect the rocker arms. Everything is perfect. Now, when I put back the camshaft. I locked it with the special tool before I put it back ( or I should not do this before it in the engine ) . I lineup the sprocket on HPFP. However I don't know how to get my crankshaft timing correct ? every confusing. appreciate if you can help. 2010 32D N47D20C Manual engine.

      Hello mate yes I put it in the description becuase I forgot to mentioned it in the video.
      If you haven't align the mark on the fuel pump, engine will still run but
      It's recommended to ensure groove on high-pressure fuel pump shaft aligned with lug on timing case.

      I normally use engine support beam on top of the bonnet.
      Unscrew two engine mounts bolts.
      Whine the engine supporter up so the engine will lift up then it will give you enough room to remove the sump. Without having to lower the subframe.
      See link below to see what I mean about the engine supporter. Thank you
