BMW n45 1 series 116i timing problem

[@tubeyou1216]

I had same issue 3 years ago like on 00:17 the vanos gear itself its faulty and you will need a new or used from scrap car .

[@aidyledgard4582]

We have same car and engine. Ours is rattling on start up, been told it probably needs a new chain and associated components. Also they think the vanos system is faulty as it's running lumpy idle and hesitating on a light throttle. 116k miles. Worth fixing?

[@xD-lr8xz]

Do you fix the problem???

[@raypluck1793]

When doing a timing chain does it matter what what rotation you refit the the variable cam sprocket as I didn’t mark them before refitting ? I have aligned the cam sensor pick up though.

[@MrBojangles901]

Doesn't matter.

[@raypluck1793]

@@MrBojangles901 perfect thank you!

[@jordy2242]

Michael what did you do to fix it ?

[@Michael-rz9ey]

Jordy sanderink Faulty vanos camshaft sprockets, I had to replace both.

[@jordy2242]

Michael both....? Haha, they are really expensive 😅

[@Michael-rz9ey]

Jordy sanderink , yes they are pretty pricey, I managed to get hold of a good second hand ones.

[@jordy2242]

Michael Thanks, i got the same problem as you, so the output clicks. Its not possible to replace only the output? Is it really important to replace both?

[@jordy2242]

How can I solve this problem

[@ikrumetal]

One of Vanoses damaged.

[@iafmehdi6356]

You mixed up exhaust cam and intake cam .

[@TomasDambrauskasTimuras]

Why do you think so?

[@TomasDambrauskasTimuras]

I have the same problem with intake cam

[@MrBojangles901]

No it's correct. Intake on right side, exhaust on left side.
