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.
