BMW X1 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW X1 E84 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Timing belt
Operation: Guide to changing the timing chain of the BMW X1

In this short and simple guide, let's see the instructions on how and when to change the timing chain of the BMW X1, both with diesel and petrol engines. The timing belt on diesel engines (2.0 litres) should generally be replaced every 180,000 kilometres, or every 5 years (even if the maximum mileage has not been reached); on petrol engines, on the other hand, it is recommended to replace the timing belt or chain every 100,000 kilometres. The timing chain replacement procedure is very complex and requires particular care and attention (often the engine block is removed from the bodywork to access it).
