Hi,,,yes your car is not on the list but that doesnt mean that it still has this problem,,,and since your car is 4 wheel drive the chain is not being used more it is the same on both 4 wheel drive and rear wheel drive,,,,now if you want to keep the vehicle it is a good idea to replace the timing chain and rails and oil pump chain for safety reasons. Is this true? Nope,,,,its up to the dealership to make the call for BMW if they will fix the timing chain issue on your car under the TSB. Hello and thank you for your various articles on the n20 engine. I got this issue and luckily BMW covered it 100%. The BMW N20 is a 4-cylinder, turbocharged engine produced from 2011-2017, and was BMW's replacement for the naturally aspirated 3.0L 6-cylinder N52/N53 engines. F10 If you are interested here is the rest of the story. 61 00 730 Refer to KSD2 Programming/encoding control unit(s) I have 13 bmw 335i xdrive with a vsrf catless downpipe, afe intake, Remus exhaust, jb4 on map 2 and jb4 connect kit. But when I try to test VANOS data via ISTA it gives no data, only 0. I used my scope when inserting the crank pin holder and i assumed the hole in the flywheel closest to cams at tdc was the locking point, Is this correct? So now I have one BMW expert telling me its loose and should be taken care of by the dealership, and the dealership is telling me everything is good to go, no problems. This will likely be the first and last BMW I will ever own. Example: 180101 or 1B9308 or 30FF Enter fault code Emissions Standard Turbo engines are more complex and require several . The oil temperature was 90 C. Once the car started without faults the oil level check worked fine. Coasting to a stop the engine suddenly died and would not restart. Having the same. 61 00 720 Refer to KSD2 Programming / encoding control unit(s) within the BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty and this coverage extends beyond the N20 vanos unit broken Posted on April 6, 2016 by bmwtechnician Ok here's another vanos unit off a 2011 328 N51 engine,,,,this is the intake vanos unit that is now in several pieces,,,,the customer was just driving on the highway when the engine just lost power. 96K views 5 years ago The BMW N54 and N52 typically have the most issues with this. It would get to 17% and quit. Previous posts of timing chain upgrade explains my experience. This turbocharged 2.0L inline-four was considered a replacement to the BMW N52 a naturally-aspirated, inline-six engine. Hi there I have a 2013 BMW f30 320 d EFF engine N47 T EUR model N47D20O1 production date 25/03/2013 ,does this engine have timing chain problems 175.000 Kilometers. During a recent oil change & tire rotation service visit, my regular BMW service establishment (non-dealership) let me know my timing chain was loose and I should get it checked out at the local BMW dealership. Emissions Warranty coverage that applies. The last oil change was two years ago but only 2200 miles were driven. Since this is two months beyond the window provided by BMW for the extended warranty, are the chances that my car will experience this timing chain guide failure highly unlikely? Thanks. Connecting rods are 144.35 mm long. also by any chance would you know the torque specs for this bolts? No I dont think it is covered,,,and what lifetime of the vehicle are you talking about. One last question about dirty oil. So your car software level is July of 2019,,,,this is when it was last updated,,,so your car has fairly new software. Wont restart. I can of course record my engine startup if thatll let you know the case). should I buy timing lock kit to lock the cams and cranksshaft in place? Not a good sign, had the same thing happen on 2013 X3. However I did pay out of pocket to replace by valve cover gasket at a BMW dealership 2 years ago. Hi. My car, BMW 320i 2014 with N20 Engine, with 33K Miles on the clock, is just broke down with a drive train error. I bought 2012 X1 with 85,000km and after reading different posts makes me worried about the timing chain issue, I called the dealer they said there is no recall on this vehicle except driver side air bag! I know I might be looking at replacing Vanos Actuator, central valve or the whole vanos unit. Labor operation code 00 00 006 is a Main labor operation. and it seems like they are about to settle this case on 9/2/2020. You think BMWNA would cover timing chain here if brought in for inspection? There are no timing codes. I personally know of one person that had a total loss on their X1 engine in Saskatchewan back in 2016 before BMW Canada acknowledged a widespread issue with the timing chain on the N20. Yes took off the valve cover 3 times so far. Car history: before selling the car last owner took it to BMW, changed oil and filters, rear tires and spark plugs. are the codes it wont start i have a timing chain set on the way have you seen any of these engine survive after Recently purchased 2104 BMW X1 28i x drive. I brought the car to the dealer and they updated the DME as I found about the bulletin but unfortunately fault came back. Bringing the BMW community together. Today I drove it 20 miles to several stores and it worked fine. I hate to take it to the junk yard. Thank you!! I would go to the dealer and have the engine scanned to see what fault came up,,,better to be safe then sorry. Now getting error 131501.

I am not sure if it was the wrong filter. My daughters 2013 survived. With the VANOS solenoids removed, the spring loaded VANOS spool valve moved in and out easily. I was told by a mechanic that the engine was done, simply by information from a scan. Apr 14, 2022 BMW F30 328i 2013 N20 engine "Drivetrain malfunction etc" comes on occasionally. And is the tension just spring our does it rely on oil pressure as well? Yes that crack in the timing chain guide should be enough to replace the timing chain and guide rails,,,,the way we decide if the car is covered is by whine noise,rattle noise,broken pieces of timing chain guide,,,how before we get the extended warranty that is hard to say,,,it all depends on the legal side of the lawsuit Im sorry to say. Could you please guide me? The warrantee was in place until 2019. charger. Dash lights up with transmission gear exclamation point and lift ramp both in yellow.

Picture of my timing chain guide rail cracking: https://imgur.com/4P3ATsK. The problem could be caused by the fuel destroying the plastic guide. The connector may have a removable cover.

I have a f10 2013 528i x drive with 105k miles on it , The engine makes a rattling noise when cold and its not as loud when the car warms up but when driving at around 1-25 mph their is a whining noise coming from the engine. I have the alignment tool to lock the crankshaft, camshafts and impulse sending wheel. Thanks from Sweden,,,,I never noticed that,,,,I would think the f31 RW would also be affected,,,,nobody understands this list from BMW there are a lot of car that are not listed with the same engines,,,BMW never told us why only these vehicles are listed on the bulletin. I assume the tensioner is operated by oil pressure and its normal to feel some slack when the engine is not running? no dtc but it complete its combustion cycle i check for spark, fuel and compression was reading ok on all 4 cylinder but there black smoke and strong gas smell out the exhaust.I allso found wire harness for dinantronics box which is pigger back to DME was rubbing under the eng.

F020-13-07-506 for the F3x 2013 X3 N20 28i. still the same problem. What symptoms and codes might you get if your timing chain had failed? You should ask the dealer about it. Do you know if the new Vanos assemblies comes with the upgraded bolts or do I still need to change out the 4 Vanos Gear bolts on a new assembly? The old oil filter was stuck onto the basket. Do you think is this something related to eccentric shaft sensor? This is not a recall. reference point is the same? The oil filter element appears to collapsed / sucked in at the center. 130304 Vanos exhaust control fault camshaft jammed After many iterations I decided to restart the engine without clearing the boost disable fault and amazingly the VANOS cold start faults didnt appear.

Please connect The Bank 1 on the definition refers to the side of the engine that has the cylinder #1. Its hard to say what the problem is with out hearing and driving the car,,,,I dont think the noise is timing chain because that makes a whining noise,,,the only leak could be a exhaust leak but you said the steering also shakes,,,have you had the tires and rims checked make sure rims are not bent,,,also check the rear transmission mount make sure they are not cracked or broken,,,also check the drive belt tensioner could be a problem. N20/N26 is an attemptof BMWAG to reclaim 4-cylinder glory from the past, e.g. So I was just under by kilometers and by time (Delivery was Aug 2012).
