I’m a car mechatronic technician, engineering technician and a certified repair technician for JLR. I used to work in an independent multibrand workshop and now i work at the JLR dealership
I must say that I admire people that enjoy working on cars in their spare time and that theyre passionate about it.
I cant imagine myself doing anything under the hood of any vehicle in my spare time. A few months ago, a light bulb went out on my own car and i simply wouldnt drive during nighttime instead of replacing it the same day. Thats how much I dont like cars and messing with them anymore.
But what I do enjoy is watching your videos because you make it seem interesting. As a person with a lot of experience in car maintenance I must say that you dont do a lot of mistakes. None, basically. Good job, and keep doing what youre doing! If it makes you happy, dont ever quit.
But dont make it your job. Hobbies are meant to stay hobbies for a reason. You might start to hate the very activity that used to excite you. Trust me.
It genially makes me happy that people actually like my content, and find it entertaining. I am very blessed to have this opportunity to fix these cars and get to talk to all the people across the world, thank you for good advice, and I will make sure to follow it my friend.😊
I've done this procedure twice on a lift and with the engine out - doing it on your back takes a lot of dedication. Mad respect!
Thanks man😊
For me longer video is better, cause in this one we can see every single small detail, keep it going :)
i just found your channel roughly an hour ago. and now im sitting on my couch and watching all your videos :D
Keep up the good work and quality!
same
Thanks guys, that’s awesome to hear, crazy to wrap my head around that some people actually find my content entertaining😊
@@EMSGARAGEE61 You and @Matt13Ross are the two channels I like watching and hope you guys hit 100K Subs. Keep the content coming, motivation is KEY!
i love that you show mostly technical stuff. Everything is on point 👍
I'm loving your videos! Nice long format, good quality content right here. It would be awesome if you got some better microphone, the sound is not the greatest from time to time.
Thanks man, the mic i have is very good, just that i dont use it propertly, and the sound is weird some of the time, but i will try to improve😊
Quality content, keep it up young man, most people wont even do this job without lift! :)
Thanks man😊
Great dedication to a good car. I also drive an E61. Hopefully many years longer without doing a timing chain job. Respect!
Riktigt bra content måste jag säga, prenumererar och längtar redan till nästa video. Gillar dina videos nästan mer än M539 för du fixar ju dieselmotorer vilket jag gillar.
Hoppas det kommer videos på M57 motorn! Skulle älska att se sådana eftersom jag själv har en 535d. Fortsätt med ditt mycket bra arbete!
Tusen takk, jada det kommer flere videoer på m57 i nær framtid😊
i also just found your channel roughly an hour ago. and also watching all your videos
Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will try😊
I don't usually comment on other videos, but my god that was some work. Really enjoyed your video thanks.
Thanks man😊
Man I love that channel. Great stuff, keep it up!
WOW! What a video, what a job! 10/10 would watch again!😁
I do not know anything about this guys work history and I have seen nothing other than this one video, so I may be completely wrong - but it is made to look like such an easy job that it makes me believe he must have done about 100 of these chains and probably works at a BMW dealership or an independent garage that churns out chain swap jobs and nothing else :) Or he is just some guy that watched a bunch of videos and read all there is to read on the subject and did a good old college try and won :D
Doing it with relatively basic tools just goes to show that most things are not that hard if you really want to do it. And that torque "wrench". OIh. My. Gods. :D
In any case, well done!
@@GoingShirtless thanks, it is definetly the second option😂
@@GoingShirtless I have got a proper torque wrench now tho😂
Man, on jackstands! Props
Big respect for doing all this on jack stands, amazing dedication. Soon enough you'll grow the channel enough to justify a lift ;)
You should also change the bearings on the engine at this mileage, they'll be finished too.
Please explain your reasoning for saying the bearings will be finished, my car has nearly 100000 more kms on it than that BMW and the bearings are not finished, so how do you explain your statement?
@@NeilD163 Please just quickly Google N47 bearing life and see for yourself. Around 200k they are done or severily worn. There are literally thousands and thousands of videos and posts about bearing wear on BMW engines, please don't be stupid. Google and look for yourself.
Bearings are common problem on N57, not N47.
@@ArnoldM50B25 It's the same engine minus two cylinders, it has the same problems with bearings.
Volevo ringraziarti per i bellissimi video!
good job! I need to change the timing chain on my 2011 e90 318d also. It has 201000 kilometers, no strange sounds yet but just to be on the safe side.
You seem to be a really skilled and enthusiastic young mechanic. So almost like me except im not nearly as good at it😂 really nice content keep it coming!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it😊😃
Very very nice.. amazing work without lift and proprer shop.
And you are not mechanic.. this is amazing and i'm ford mechanic
Good job
Thanks man😊✌️
Well done! At least you didn’t make the mistake I did on a 3.0 TDI VW Touareg. I replaced the chains on it and put it all together, wouldn’t start. No RPM signal. After much digging, I found I had gotten some oil on the magnetic pickup wheel that goes on between the crank and flex plate. Very annoying and very dumb that thing can’t get anything on it without being destroyed.
Jeeez, thats crazy, you live and you learn
@@EMSGARAGEE61 Yep, never work on a VW Touareg. That’s the lesson here. 😂
Omg men, you are my hero !!
Great video. Great details too. How did you get your knowledge for this car
Thanks man, just RUclips and a lot of research on forums😊😃
Utrolig kul video! Synes også den norske arksangen er fantastisk og får det til å bli veldig relaterbart! hahah! men seriøst sjukt bra video og man lærte en del.
Hahah, Takk😊
Excellent as usual, just a tip why don’t you put license plate LED from the LCI it looks OEM and you can just code out the fault of the voltage check. Wish you all the best my friend. 🇫🇷
Thanks, but e61 LCI doesnt have led license plate light? Btw this car is 08 so it is lci,Or does some of them have? Or do you mean use the light from f10?
@@EMSGARAGEE61 ohh ok i didn’t know that. Because im more on E9x chassis the LCI of E9x has those LEDs you can use them if they fit of course 👍
@@Winter1256 yeah I have heart people use the ones from f10, probably same as e90 lci, it’s not plug and play but you can get some kind of adapter😊
Geat job men !
nice videos dude, keep it up!
Good to se U SAVING those cars. PLUS a local guy. STAVANGER... at TA......
BIG UP
very good video, so cool, good job thanks you from france!
Love your videos G !
What software are u using to read the codes and purge the feul filter ?
Keep going you are realy saving these cars ! 🙏🏻
Thanks man, in the video I used Delphi, but you can do it with inpa too
Love the content man 😁
Good Video! Keep it up :)
I don't know if you mentioned it, but how many kilometres was the car driven before changing the timing chains?
I have a 2008 X3/E83, 20d/N47 177hp, with 220,000 km (as spare car!), and a 2011 X3/F25 30d/N57 190kW/258 hp, with 251,000 km.
So there is some DIY work with both cars... one at a time... That's why I have two of them. One quite cheap to repair, and the other not that cheap to repair and maintain.
Good job done in the video!
This one was on 248 if i remember correctly, and the timing chains were slapping around like crazy when the engine was cold. Thanks
How did you learn car maintenance related stuff? Worked in a garage before? I’m just a beginner… love the videos btw.
No, RUclips certified mechanic😊
Can I ask a question. I have new genuine chain kit fitted by specialist. I need to replace the sprocket that runs the hp diesel pump keyway broken. will I need a full timing key to remove the sprocket
@@caldwell1981ac yes, aswell as hpfp special took
@@EMSGARAGEE61 anything else for tensioners ect timing as I will have to remove the timing cover with the hpfp inspection cap to remove sprocket mate.
How many hours would this take for a mechanic? I would like to know just to make sure I don’t get overcharged when turning in my car for this job.
Greit video 🙏🏽 keep making more!
Thanks brother😈
Im a complete newbie to BMW cars but would quite like to own one. i love the 320d estates, which engines are good and which are bad? and which ones are cheap and reliable to own?
If you don’t like cam chain issues, do oil changes every 15 000km. If you do strictly city driving not letting the car get up to temp (and staying there for a while!), then replace even sooner.
City driving modern diesels clogs up dpf, egr, intake ports and injector nozzles. Remember to do plenty of highway driving. Bear in mind that certain newer bmw petrol engines also have issues with timing chain (it's not exclusive to the diesels), such as N20. M47 engine itself is very reliable apart from swirl-flaps which should definitely be removed. N47 timing chain more prone to snap and should be done preventively around 200k mark, other than that it's a fairly reliable engine which easily drives to 350k.
These guys above know their stuff😊nothing else to add I guess
M47, not as nice to drive but no timing chain problems and no dpf to worry about (at least in the UK anyway)
you are doing wel, keep going
My E61 530d 2005 218hp has 396k km as of today on its first injektor gearbox chain and turbo
But your looks just like mine on the exterior
Ps with reingold you can lower the EGR rate to prevent carbon build up
That’s awesome man, wow I didn’t know that, I will definitely try to lower it
Bro big respect for what are you doing, i really like your wrench style but please wear a safety glasses. 😎
Thanks man😊 I try but when I’m working they like to steam up so that’s why you see me often without😊
it is normal to take so long to start after fuel lines were empty
Very impressive! Where did you learn your skills?
RUclips😂
@@EMSGARAGEE61 wow nice job and I will try to learn from you lol
Altså, jeg tar nok en gang av meg hatten 👏 Du har en fast følger her nå 😄
Takk😊🤘
dritt bra video! men du burde virkelig investere i en løfte bukk haha, jeg kjøpte en brukt på finn for sånn 8k og funker fett, mye deiligere når man fikser flere biler som du gjør!
Takk, hadde gjort det, men problemet er at i lokalet som vi leier nå, er taket ganske lav, og det er ikke nok høyde for en skikkelig løftebukk😭😂
Nice job buddy
All the e90 and e60 are exported to East Europe if you do only e91 and e61?
No not really, we have a lot of them here as well, just haven’t found one worth buying for content😃
Respekt fra en annen M47 E91-eier!
the worst feeling when doing jobs like this is to think WILL IT START AGAIN and more longer videos lol
how do you make it reliable? swap it for m57 :)
Hahah yup, I have a few videos in mind that I am going to make about m57 engine in the near future✌️
My n47 makes a loud mechanic sound when starting sometimes is it the same case for me?
Yeah most likely, the sound on my is completely gone after chain replacement
where do you get the repair manuals?
Ista
How long did it take to do.
Around 5 days with no rush, wrenching around 2-3 hour everyday
0:11 that face killed me 😂😂😂
At that moment I actually thought I killed the engine😂😃
😢No nie njjujjjj😊
@@EMSGARAGEE61 i tak t7ff6r7ruur
nice job😎
Shit vilka jobb du gör! 💪🏻 Mycket imponerande! Vad är det för medel från Biltema du rengör insuget med?
Takk, det er faktisk grillrens, utrolig god kjemi og koster kun 40 kroner eller noe sånt😃✌️
@@EMSGARAGEE61 Tänkte att det var nåt sånt 😁👍🏻
This make me regret selling my Mini Cooper S R53. Timing chain started slapping on cold starts and I sold it. I have mechical experience but I thought it was gonna be much harder so I sold it (I did told the new owner the timing chain needed to be replaced).
I quite like the mini’s, what engine was it? If it was petrol n43 it’s quite easy to do the timing chain😊
@@EMSGARAGEE61 it was a 2004 Mini Cooper S. It has the W11 Tritec engine. It was a supercharged 1.6L 4cyl
@@jeremyocampo1529 nice, then it’s not a bmw engine😊🤘
At 9:30 can't you just tilt the oil pan without lowering the subframe?
Not possible unfortunately
@@EMSGARAGEE61 That sucks. I don't like that part 😂
i had plenty of different bmw petrol and diesel all 4 cylinder have too mnay issues had both petrol and diesel 6 cylinder way better and more reliable straight 6 it is
Lol
Respect!
why it have N57 instead of M57?
Abit of everything😊, next vid on m57
Are tou from Lithuania? 😀
Yes
next time please let the ignition on or go with inpa to bleed the fuel system. what you were doing is a high risk damaging your high pressure fuel pumpe because its running dry and so also you can damage the injectors, the rail etc.
I bled the fuel system with diagnostics, I show it in the video
hello , what engine code is this?
N47-D20A
@@EMSGARAGEE61 thank you
Kungen själv
i hope it was cheap because thats one clapped out e61 man
It’s not that bad, there was alot of mechanical work, but in general out of all e61 in Norway it’s on the nicer end of the spectrum
👍
Puikiai!
I hate those N series engines, petrol or diesel they all are crap! So that is why I am staying with old M series engines, super reliable absolute minimum carbon build up and they last forever. I am saying this as a BMW nut who has driven these cars for last 20 years. I would love get again myself a good old e36 with M50B25, super simple car super easy to fix. Ahh.. those good old days when BMW were making nice and reliable simple cars 🥲
Thats whats fun, you newer know when they will break😃
What does it take to make any BMW better? Sale it and buy another car from a different brand.
Or fix it, then sell it, and get another one😂🤘
How to make an N47 reliable:
Get an M57 😅
Hahah yup, next video will be on an m57😊💥
@@EMSGARAGEE61 Looking forward to it! Got two videos up of mine. Been thinking about trading it for an F10/F11, but I can't seem to find a good enough reason to make the change haha.
@@FredrikEastling i like it, the next vid is also going to be on a 530xd😃
