Is the Check Engine light on or are you hearing strange noises from under the hood of your BMW? Don't disturb us - N20 engines are sensitive to wear of the timing chain, turbo and oil system. Contact MB Master in Kyiv - we will quickly perform diagnostics and provide quality service with a guarantee.
Why should you perform preventive maintenance on your BMW N20 engine, even if it is running normally?
1. Preventing costly engine repairs (wear of chain, turbine, oil pump)
2. Maintaining power and fuel economy
3. Avoiding sudden loss of lubrication pressure.
4. Increased engine life and reliability.
BMW N20 Maintenance and Service
1 Oil change 5W-30 every 7-8 thousand km
2 Only fuel AI-95 or higher, avoid low-quality gas stations
3 Cleaning intake valves every 60–80 thousand km (through carbon deposits)
4 Check the timing chain after 100 thousand km, if there is noise – replace
5 Checking Valvetronic and VANOS systems at high mileage
6 Turbocharger Review for Oil Leaks and Excessive Smoke
7 Regular diagnostics of errors and operating parameters
8 Checking crankcase ventilation and adsorber every 60 thousand km
9 Replace coolant every 3-4 years
10 Avoid overloading a cold engine - the turbo is sensitive
The BMW N20 four-cylinder petrol engines with a capacity of 1.6 and 2.0 liters belong to the generation of turbocharged engines with direct injection, which were produced from 2011 to 2018. These units were created as an economical and lighter alternative to the naturally aspirated inline sixes of the N52 and N53 series.
The engines were installed on popular BMW models with rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and even front-wheel drive (for example, the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer), as well as X-series crossovers. In addition, a special version of the N26 was used in the USA to meet strict SULEV emission standards.
BMW N20 engines have a modern engineering basis with a number of innovative solutions:
1. Timing chain wear and risk of seizure
One of the most critical problems is rapid timing chain wear, especially in engines before 2015. Weakening of the tension leads to a jump in valve timing and even to engine failure due to valve-piston contact.
2. Oil pump problems
The BMW N20 oil pump is driven by a chain from the crankshaft, and if it slips or breaks, the engine instantly loses lubrication pressure, which leads to seizure.
3. Sources through the plastic filter housing
The housing of the heat exchanger and oil filter is made of plastic, over time it deforms or cracks, causing leakage of lubricant or coolant.
4. Detonation and unstable operation
Due to contamination of fuel injectors, especially when using low-quality fuel, increased vibrations, unstable speed, and flashes of errors in the injection system are possible.
5. BMW N20 engine life
The declared engine life is 200,000 km, but with regular maintenance, changing the lubricant every 7-8 thousand km, the resource can reach 250,000 – 300,000 km.
