INFORMATION
This bulletin outlines the procedure for checking the engine timing chains for wear, and should be com leted
in conjunction with SI B11 06 14, “N63 Customer Care Package.”
The N63CCP and N63 Engine Check the Timing Chain are NOT mandatory Technical Campaigns or Recalls.
They should be completed only based on arts availability, worksho ca acity, and the customer’s
schedule.
Performing the test plans identified in the procedure below will detect wear at an early stage and, if necessary,
provide a repair solution. To avoid future valvetrain wear, the vehicle must be reprogrammed and a shorter oil
service interval must be retrofitted via ISTA/P.
Finally, drain and replace the engine’s oil and filter.
After com leting all necessary re airs included in the N63 Customer Care Package and the Timing
Chain Check, the vehicle must be test driven for u to 30 minutes to ensure that the re airs were
erformed to the highest standard.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Service Action applies to E 0, E 1, E 2, F01, F02, F04, F0 , F10, F12, and F13 vehicles with the N63
engines corresponding to the production dates listed above.

1. Perform a vehicle test. If the vehicle already has faults stored for the VANOS or camshaft position,
perform the recommended test plans for the faults stored before checkin the timin chain. A defective
component (VANOS actuator or solenoid) can affect the outcome of the timin chain check.
2. Perform the applicable test plan to measure the timin chain’s elon ation, usin ISTA/D 3.47 or hi her.
F01, F02, F04, F07, F10, F12, and F13 Timing Chains Test Plan path:
1. Select “Troubleshootin ”
2. Select “Function structure”
3. Select “Drive”
4. Select “En ine electronics, quality control valve (MSV)”
5. Select “Valve ear”
6. Select “Start Search”
7. From the list of available test plans, select “VANOS solenoid valve, exhaust”
8. Select “Continue”
9. Select “Timin chain test” and follow the steps to complete the test plans.
10. Test plan will conclude with the statement “Timin chain is OK” or “Timin chain is not OK”.
11. If the test plan results indicate the timin chains are stretched (“not OK”), replace both timin chains
per Repair Instruction 11 31 052 “Replacin both timin chains \ PREMIUM” after completin the
remainin portion of the vehicle evaluation procedure from SI B11 06 14.
IMPORTANT Before starting the engine for the first time, and after replacing the timing chains:
1. Fill the en ine with the specified amount of en ine oil.
2. Connect a battery char er to the vehicle.
3. Remove the electric fuel pump fuse. Refer to the applicable wirin dia ram usin the VIN of the
vehicle in ISTA/D.
4. Crank the en ine for 10 seconds.
5. After 10 seconds have elapsed, stop the starter, and allow the starter to cool for 20 seconds.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 two additional times.
7. Reinstall the electric fuel pump fuse and start the en ine. Verify proper en ine operation.
Important: Repair Instruction 11 31 052 for “Replacing both timing chains \
PREMIUM” describes the “replacement” of the engine oil pan gasket (seal).
Failure to replace this gasket (seal) as outlined in the repair instruction can result in an
engine oil leak and an unnecessary return visit to your workshop. Also, using liquid
sealer to substitute the required replacement of this gasket (seal) on the engine is “not
a proper” repair.
A repair to correct engine oil leakage that results from not replacing the engine oil pan
gasket (seal) as required during a previous repair is not a Warranty issue.

...
Do not discard the replaced parts. These parts will be requested by the Warranty Parts Return Center
(WPRC).When the defective timin chains are removed from the en ine label them with cylinder head
bank (1 or 2) they were removed from.
Important Note:
The current ISTA repair manual RA11
31 052 “Replacing both timing chains \
PRE IU ” instructs to release
tension on four bearing bolts (indicated
as #1 for cylinders 5 to 8; and #2 for
cylinders 1 to 4) on the engine block.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DO
THIS.
DO NOT release these bolts, because
the bearing bolts are micro-
encapsulated and they would have to
be replaced if loosened up.
The repair instructions will be updated
soon.
8. Terminate the diagnostic session so that FASTA data will be transmitted.
9. Program the vehicle using ISTA/P 3.55.1 or a more recent version and retrofit the new engine oil
service interval. The engine oil service interval of the vehicle must be retrofitted to a shorter service
interval of 12 months or 10,000 miles. ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all
programmable control modules that do not have the latest software. Perform the programming, coding
and engine oil service retrofit during the same ISTA/P session.
Important note: For F01, F02, F04, and F07 vehicles, check the operation of the trunk release with the
remote. If the trunk does not open with the remote, refer to the special procedure in SI B66 04 15.
Leave the ICOM connected to the vehicle.
For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to Centernet / Aftersales Portal / Service /
Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.
En ine Oil Service Interval Retrofit Procedure (F01, F02, F04, F07, F10, F12, and F13):
1. From the ISTA/P start screen select “Start a new session”
2. Select “ISTA/P Server Automatically”
3. Select “Connect”
4. Select “Vehicle”
5. Select “Conversion, oil service 12months/15,000km/10,000 miles” from the retrofit list.
6. Select “Determine easure Plan”
7. Select “Accept easure Plan”
8. Select “Continue
9. Select “OK”
10. Select “End Session”
The retrofit of the engine oil service is complete.
