  1. Even though I have my doubts about their success rate, I also know that some of them will keep going. Even though my hearing isn't perfect, my 2009 E91 320D has reached 192k without any issues, and I haven't heard a rattle as of yet. I'm still deciding whether to keep the car or sell it. If I'm going to keep it for a few more years, I might as well get it done so I can rest easy. I was wondering if anyone had experience with the AB Auto Repairs shop in Chard, which is close by and appears to have done a number of N47 chains.

  3. Greetings, pal. I am aware that Group 1 is currently running a timing chain offer for £1500 (including VAT). Almost made me decide to keep driving instead of taking the plunge. I can't wait to enjoy my 420d for many years on the road. It's a sturdy vehicle with a huge trunk. Do you have a vehicle?

  5. Hello, I have researched the N47 timing chain extensively on various forums. Never used stop-start, and my 420D Xdrive GC 2014(64) has a complete BMW service history. Been the owner for three and a half years. I am protected under the insured warranty of my BMW in the event that anything were to happen to the chain—which it has never experienced. Have you any ideas?
  6. Hi everyone I've been looking at a 2020 Mercedes V-Class they've got advertised. Found this thread while searching the company name. Not saying I'm convinced yet, but at least there are some sensible questions being asked here rather than twenty replies saying either "SCAM!!!" or "100% LEGIT MATE" with no explanation.
  7. That one is great, too. Could you tell me the name of the manufacturer of the kit, chain, and sprockets? We only have to rule out a few things. Just like Mike mentioned earlier, we also need to consider the end caps, which are BMW terminology for rectangular rings.
  8. Would you like me to confirm if you only had the chain replaced or if you also had the guides, vanos sprockets, and everything else?
  9. The mesh may have collapsed and partially obstructed it, or perhaps the oil solenoid has failed. Someone or something connected to the common 12v (orange wire) supply might be at fault. Another possible cause is an internal breakdown of the vanos sprocket or a stretched chain that is not up to specification. Could you please tell me the mileage and whether the timing of the TC replacement with a complete OE/OEM kit was considered?
  10. Hi For a variety of ride heights, consider standard lowering springs for your vehicle. Checking the spring pads is another possibility; I've seen versions where the springs were the same but the pads under them were of varying sizes (but don't take my word for it). This allows you to drop between 5–15 mm while maintaining the same level of ride quality.
  11. Holy cow, I couldn't believe the unexpected symptoms weren't worse. It never crossed my mind to compare the old with the new when I was working nonstop. With 183k, I'm assuming these were either originally installed or replaced earlier?
