Operation: How do you replace the timing chain of the BMW X1?

In order to replace the timing chain of the BMW X1, you need to open the hood so that you can access the components located inside the engine compartment. In the front part of the engine block, you will be able to locate the cover under which the chain is present. This must be removed from its housing by removing the tensioners and reducing its tension. By doing so, it will be possible to remove the chain from the corresponding gears and insert the new one into its housing. It will be necessary to tension it again by installing the tensioners and verifying that everything functions correctly.
