BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Engine
Operation: How to replace the chain tensioner on a BMW 3 series with an oversized one

How to change the chain tensioner of your BMW 3 SERIES E46, we disassemble the old one with a 27 mm wrench. It may easily have oozed a little oil, like the one in the video, so be careful to pick up any residue. BMW has made a modification on this device by making it stiffer so that it strains the chain more so that the engine has no problems with tension. Now we reassemble the chain tensioner which seems to be in an inaccessible place, but the engine compartment is large enough to allow it to be operated easily. We put back the oil that we lost when we removed the worn chain tensioner and the job is finished.
