BMW Timing Chain Repair in Greenwood Village, CO

About The Timing Chain

BMW is a German car company that creates a wide range of vehicles from the sporty to the luxurious and everything in between. BMW vehicles are known for stellar design and performance, but they do still sometimes require repairs, just as any other make and model of car will. And, just like other makes and models of vehicles, BMW models have a timing chain inside of them. But what is the timing chain on a car? The timing chain is, as the name would suggest, a chain. More specifically, it’s a chain that connects the car’s crankshaft (the piece of your engine that rotates your car’s pistons) and its camshaft (a rod that rotates your car’s cams, which is the piece that presses your exhaust and intake valves). It’s an under-discussed and underrated part of your car, but maintaining the timing chain is important. Your BMW’s timing chain should be frequently inspected and maintained because getting worn out can lead to problems such as stalling, loss of power, and even engine failure.

BMW Timing Chain Replacement And Maintenance

So, what’s involved with timing chain maintenance? If you bring your BMW in to see us, our team of European repair experts will check all of the parts of your timing chain for wear, check the oil level, and clean both the chain and the tensioner. If your car doesn’t start, if it’s making odd noises, if you see smoke, or if your car is quickly losing power, those can all be signs that you need your timing chain replaced as soon as possible. Issues with your BMW’s timing chain can be caused by something as simple as a chain that’s too tight, so while our team inspects your timing chain, we’ll also ensure it’s set to the right tension. Your timing chain can also get worn down or stretched out over time, and if there’s too much wear on it, it may need to be replaced because it could break while your car is accelerating. Having your timing chain repaired – or replaced, if needed – will allow your car to move smoothly and safely again.
