BMW Stretched Timing Chain Replacement Geelong

BMW Timing Chain Replacements

As opposed to a BMW timing belt that is made of rubber, a BMW timing chain is a metal chain that is located inside of the engine.If this component should fail it can cause extensive engine damage, if you hear any abnormal rattling noises especially when the engine is cold replacement may be necessary, bring your car into GERMAN CONNECTION today.

Why Does the Timing Chain Need Replacing?

Over time, the timing chain stretches and wears out. The chain tensioner linked to the timing chain also wears out, leading to complete failure of the timing chain. If this happens, your BMW will not run properly. One of the major causes for the timing chain to wear out faster is the use of wrong oil. Using poor-quality oil puts extra load on the timing chain and prevents the proper lubrication of the engine, which in turn leads to timing chain failure.

How to Avoid Timing Chain Problems

In order to avoid timing chain problems, you must take proper care of your vehicle’s engine. It’s also important to have the engine oil and filter changed at manufacturer-recommended intervals. Using high-quality oil filters and engine oil will ensure that your timing chain lasts up to 300,000 kilometres or even longer.
