One you dont see every day.
Customer phoned me up explaining there engine had a rattle, upon inspection was heard that it was timing chain. Customer confused as it was stamped in the book 6 weeks prior.
We went upon to take the timing cover off to find the tentioner bairly hanging on in there with one bolt finger tight and another missing, further inspection found the missing bolt in the sump and a drill bit. This could of been catastrophic.
Due to the poor previous work, we went ahead to repair the threads in the block that had been damaged aswell as new timing chain kit, new sump and new sealant.
Engine buttery smooth now.
Customer that happy recommended m3 to service and repair family members vehicles
