BMW N20 Timing Chain Replacement 

These engines notoriously suffer from timing chain problems. A problem worth dealing with preventatively.

These chains stretch over time, leading to them snapping suddenly, potentially bending valves and definitely causing a breakdown. The other problems old chains cause is the old timing guides breaking down as they become brittle over time. As they break down they drop into the oil sump and get pulled into the oil pickup, this causes major oil pressure problems and leads to full engine failure.

We are proud to offer this service same day whilst you wait from just £845 inc VAT. Using the OE timing chain supplier, with all new consumable bolts used. The process takes about 6 hours and comes with our 3 year warranty. We often see cars fitted with cheaper aftermarket chains which are already failing after just a few years, we will never cheap out on parts, we offer full peace of mind with all our timing chain repairs.

Please note that if our technicians find missing pieces from the old timing guide, we will strongly recommend that the sump is dropped to remove these old pieces. This will be an additional cost but will save your engine from oil starvation in the long run.
