Replace the timing chain on a BMW 320 TDI.

Model: BMW Serie 3 F31, F30 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

A tutorial to see how the job of changing the timing chain on a BM320 F30 is always very interesting. If changing the timing belt is a very complex job, changing the chain is a job for specialists because it requires the right tension and specific equipment and skills to do such a job. In fact, the engine must be completely disassembled, as the YouTuber also mentions in his speech, so much so that most of the time professional mechanics prefer to remove it directly to work on it comfortably. The video is a timelapse, otherwise it would last for hours.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
