blue ass fly Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 going to look at an approved 2010 218d tomorrow from a dealer with 60k ive read about timing chains breaking,although the years effected seem vague any bmw techs on here that can give me some info,i cant see a salesman talking himself out of a sale Quote
Deako Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 You'll hear it if they are on the way out. Approved used would have a full warranty anyway. Quote
cszjrh Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 As far as I know it's 2007-2009 for the 118d's, with the N47 / N47D20A engines. My brother's 318d had the belt snap last year. £3K engine rebuild with an independent specialist.... Nearer £5K with BMW "goodwill". Quote
Deako Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 It's a problem on the F2x cars too. Stop/start to blame. Quote
