If you click "SHOW MORE" in the description above your be able to see Links to the Tools 🔧🔨🔧 I use. Also Clickable Chapters📋 📙 throughout the video and other Links 🎬 that may be of interest. I've had a few viewers request where they can buy the tools they see in some of my videos but it's not very clear that the "SHOW MORE" tab has a lot of information in that may be of interest. Admittedly the amazon links are associated with me and I would earn a small commission which helps towards keeping the channel funded.
I purchased the Haynes Repair Manual. Not sure I spent my money well. After watching these videos, I feel I could complete this process start to finish with great confidence. I saved all of them. The typical repair manuals jump all over the place. This is start, to finish. I love the honesty in the video. One other positive comment, the majority of other videos focus on "S" models. You have provided me with great confidence.
I guess it wouldn’t be ideal as the two cogs will have worn with the chain so you might increase the wear on the new chain as its running on cogs out of tolerance so may not last as long. I guess if your chain is about to snap it might be better than doing nothing but it’s better if you can change all the items.
How much would this cost if paying a garage to do it? No idea if mine needs doing (engine sounds fine) but have been told by numerous people that because of the cars age and mileage, it does need doing.
@@CoatsandGaiters Thanks, I think it's the original. Bmw don't recommend anything it seems. My 2001 r50 has 165000km and has never been changed. Except for a few seconds at start up I can't hear the chain. Excellent tuto, thank you very much.
@@Keller68190 Thank you for the comment. This is a car that came to me with the slapping chain sound but to be honest I'm wondering if it was just the tensioner as I cannot see any damage anywhere.

Very clear instructions, I love the way you highlight the parts that need to be loosened.
Thank you John. Hope it’s helped

That's amazing to hear. That's the aim of all my videos to help others complete the task as easily as possible.
Absolutely brilliant video 🙂👍
Thank you for that Klaus.
So detailed awesome video a must watch if you intend to take on this job.
Thanks Mark
Thank you for saying so. I do try my best to help home mechanics mend their cars.
Another brilliant step by step guide...
Thank you Sis. Are you getting a MINI? 1st generation?
@@CoatsandGaiters no, cars are not the agenda at the moment..
Great video! Thank you! It saved me a lot of time!!!!
Thank you for compliment and feedback. Pleased it helped you.
thanks
You're welcome!
Excellent video
What if you leave the old crankshaft sprocket and just replace the timing chain and guides.

Can I ask how long does this process take from start to finish please? Great guide video both part 1 and 2
Thank you. I’d probably allow a good weekend to do it. I work incredibly slowly in the videos so in real life much quicker.
Hello, what reference are the oil pump gaskets? thank you
Mine came in a kit. Here's a link to me doing it though. ua-cam.com/video/kdgqGBZiVT8/v-deo.html

I’d have thought around £400 to £500.
👍 perfect
Thank you
How many kilometres did the old chain have?
It was about 150,000 miles or 240,000 Km, assuming it hadn't been changed in the past.
