    Hi. Another good video. My N47 engine, E60/ 5 series crank pulley is all cracked (121.000 miles). I'll get it changed next weekend. Waiting for autodoc to deliver the parts. Corteco crank pulley + Gates belt kit. Removing the crank bolts with impact tool is the best tip. Otherwise you have to buy a special tool which costs £80 or you can ruin your timing chain if you spin the crankshaft the other way. Thank you George. Keep it like that.

    Put my 2011 N47 in today for chain replacement at 108000miles and the mechanic sent me pic of the crank pulley cracked all around in a circle basically😂 I remembered in another one of your videos you mentioned the pulley should be changed too on n47s😁

    Doing the same job tomorrow, pulley totally failed at 270k km.
    One thing tho, you can get a Gates 'micro-v kit' with the tensioners and belt, wich will save you about 35euros. 👍
    Superb video and job, thank you !

    For pulleys I only use INA components, the crank pulley I use only corteco on BMWs (since they make the oem one and the part number got revised). For belts only continental, never had a problem with these brands.

      But recalling back, I did have exessive engine shake. But not too bad to be honest. Symptoms sneaked up so slowly that I didn't notice it early enough. I just changed all and it was about 20min job. Than you for superb video! Had to do it in the open in field so all tool sizes, torques etc. were nice to have! Straight forward job.

    4:33 Yes... 118d/E87 if you don't have Chinese hands - remove fan. 1x screw on the side/top of fan assembly (driver side in UK), 1x electrical plug to unplug right on the top (you cannot miss it), then on the passenger side there's a clip/latch holding fan to radiator just about half way between top and bottom - just hold it with one finger then pull fan assembly UP - difficulty level 0. Oh.... and to do that all you have to take out air filter box as it's blocking access to the screw... 2x10mm socket for the box and 1x flat screw to release the pipe. Total time spend for disassembly airbox+fan+crankshaft pulley - 30minutes. Replacement should come tomorrow so still not sure how long reassembly will take! PEACE

    • @bevis71
      @bevis71 Год назад

      Update: Reasembly - same +/- 30min ;). Only difficulty is putting a belt back on when you're alone. Gearbox on neutral + belt on all wheels apart from alternator - easiest to access as on the top - tensioner FULL clockwise then wigle the belt on the alternator pulley - yes it's tight but twist pulley left/right on repeat and it will pop back where it was.

      Hi Phil, I just did my today and had the problem of crankshaft rotating when tighting the torque to 120 deg. So used a impact wrench with offset bolt/socket to slowly tighten the bolts by 120 deg. No rotation of crankshaft and made the job so much easier. No locking tools required.

      George Austers got my belt fitted. Literally 5 mins on mine thank Jeez, no tensioner pulley to loosen as it’s spring loaded so only had to slide a pin through a hole to hold it back. Fitted my new awkward coolant flange/pipe and only had to raise the manifold inlet 4 inches to get at the hidden hex screw so left injectors etc connected. Couldn’t believe how clean the ports are inside as only a fine oily layer present with no coke build up at all, I only do long journeys in the main so that could be the reason it’s stayed clean! I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your tutorial vids pal so thanks again!!!!

    Hey George, I tried to use a long Allen Key to lock the tensioner in place but I doesn't seem to grab anything in the hole when I stick it in. Did you have this issue? I can't get the belt on as it's too tight. Do you have any other suggestions or tips?

    Hi george, great channel wondering if you can help me with diagnosing a whining noise. When i remove the belt the noise goes away, so deffo pulley related, i have changed the alternator but noise is still there. Rest of the pulleys are smooth. The noise i can best describe is like when you have an electric interferince with a radio, but mines in the belt area. What do recommend to check of replace. My car also has the electric rack

    I bought a X1 with an n47 at 172,000miles detailed as failed water pump. I replaced the water pump, steering pump, belt, pulley wheel, tensioner and ideal pulley wheel. The aux drive still rattles really badly at ideal. I have taken the air con pump apart as far as the bearing and it seems good also the alternator.
