not sure if the 117 should be a typo but that engine should defo be in for a recall if its the 08.

Edition M Sports will definitely fall into the recall as i think they only came out between 2007 and 2009

Im sure they were only made in 2008, ive never seen or heard of a 57 plate edition, and it weren't made in an lci so only minimal 58 plates are aswel

Mines M sport on 58 plate. N47d20c so won't fall into this qe.. Yet

[Rhino.]

My engine is the N47D20U1...am I exempt then?

[John320d]

No your on the waiting list with the rest of us I suspect.

[OGM2LCI]

Just been in and spoken to my dealer (Ocean Plymouth) and mine is eligible for the recall, N47D20A engine code. They are waiting on a diagnostic listening machine apparently, which is in demand all over the world so could take months to get the car looked at. Apparently any mileage below 45,000 and the tensioner gets replaced at a minimum

Just booked my car in at Ridgeway BMW in Hook for 12th May

[Pacman83]

Mine's probably one of the current recall cars.

e92 320d, July 2008, N47D20A. 59k.

Called Cockermouth BMW this morning and called the service desk back twice and was promised a call when they're free. Nothing. I guess once the receptionist gave them the details I supplied they all went for their lunch

[Powie]

Went through to my local dealership, provided the vin, 58 e92 320d, dealer said he could get the car in on Monday and would need it for 3 days! Opted to wait for a courtesy car so booked in for the 27th April

[kayfaz]

Mines booked only for 2days :

[un1eash]

Mine had the full works and was in for 1.5 days. They originally said 1 day but needed an extra part that wasn't in stock.

Mine's in next Tuesday. They told me it can be done in about a day ..... How? The engine has to be removed surely?

It can be done in a day apparently but they had trouble with stuck rusty injectors on mine so needed to order new injector seals. Looking at the parts list from mine its a massive job which involves removing the gearbox and top end of the engine. I had all guides, chains, tensioners, sprockets(not the crank one), head gasket, numerous seals and bolts replaced.

I've got a 2010 320d 184 is mine under the recall?

It won't be covered under this current one and I highly doubt it'll be part of a later recall as it has the newer engine

[Chrisy32]

Just checked and mine is a N47D20A.



What do I do now ? Just ring my nearest BMW dealer up and say I think my engine is up for recall ? Simple as that ?

[Pacman83]

They'll ask you for your last 7 digits of the VIN and chances are that it'll be checked.

[essex_lad]

So what about my girlfriends 118d it's a 2 litre registered early 2010. Will that need to be done?

[Coddy]

Last week I asked darren wood bmw specialist in Bredbury stockport what I should look at doing to my car now it's at 75k.
He said I should do the timing chain tensioner just incase as it s only a £35 part
