1. HOW TO RECOGNIZE FOR A BAD

2. A timing chain is
one of the integral
components of an
internal combustion
engine.

3. Moreover, it runs in your BMW X1
with a set of gears to rotate the
crankshaft and camshaft.

the engine and lubricated from the
engine oil.

can result in extensive engine
damage.

6. The following points define the
signs to recognize the bad
timing chain in BMW X1.

8. Metal parts from a damaged
timing chain are breaking off
and dropping in the oil.

find metal bits in the
engine oil that will
contaminate it.

11. A bad timing chain will
produce rattling noise
when the engine is
started or brakes are
engaged.

12. Loose or stretched timing
chain shakes and rattles
while rotating in your car.

14. If you are unable to start the
engine, then check the timing
chain as soon as possible.

15. When it happens,
the car won’t start
and damage other
components of the
engine.

17. Timing chain regulates the opening and closing of the engine
valves in BMW X1.

18. Any damages in the
chain can unbalance the
air-fuel ratio and result
in many issues like:
A lack of
power
Loss of acceleration

illuminates the check engine light.
