Replace the Timing Chain on a BMW 320 TDI

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

A tutorial on how to replace the timing chain on a BMW 320 F30 is always very interesting. While changing the timing belt is a complex job, replacing the chain is a specialist task because it requires the correct tension and specific tools and skills. In fact, the engine must be completely disassembled, as the YouTuber mentions, so much so that most professional mechanics prefer to remove it entirely for easier access. The video is a time-lapse; otherwise, it would take hours.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
