It ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes, maintaining optimal engine performance. Timing chains are typically made of metal and are designed to last for the life of the engine, though they can wear out or become damaged over time. Damaged or stretched chains can impact the timing on an engine and overwork the tensioner, failures in this system can cause catastrophic engine failure and costly repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngine Timing Chain Failure Symptoms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNoise: \u003c\/strong\u003eA common symptom of a failing timing chain is a rattling or slapping noise coming from the engine, especially during start-up or acceleration.

However, under other circumstanced it could be the belt tensioner which has begun to fail. If the belt tensioner is not properly holding tension then the belt will not be secured properly over the other pulley. Replacing your BMW's tensioner can usually fix the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessories such as alternators, power steering pumps, water pumps, and A\/C compressors are commonly powered by an accessory drive belt, also sometimes called a serpentine belt. For these to all function correctly, an accessory drive belt tensioner applies the proper amount of tension on the belt to keep it from slipping and ensure the entire system is running smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three main styles of accessory belt tensioners, the most popular being the “Automatic” tensioner. An automatic accessory drive belt tensioner is spring-loaded to maintain constant tension on the belt. Some European cars use a hydraulic-style tensioner, which is slightly more complicated but less prone to bouncing or vibrations if one of the accessories is not in top shape. Finally, a manual accessory drive belt tensioner uses a screw and an arm that needs to be manually adjusted. These are usually found on classic cars and need to be checked as part of regular maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen an automatic tensioner is failing, you will notice an abnormal amount of bouncing or vibration, usually in conjunction with a bad pulley bearing. Hydraulic tensioners will fail similarly, by losing their ability to damp the vibrations in the system and begin to bounce. Sometimes they can also leak, although the amount of fluid in a hydraulic tensioner is small, so it would be hard to detect. If your belt system is bouncing or wobbling due to slack in the tensioner, replace the tensioner and associated components to do a full belt service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessory Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly Failure Symptoms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlack in the belt:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the accessory drive belt tensioner is going bad, you will notice the belt bounce and hop due to the inability of the tensioner to apply even constant pressure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePulley Bearing Failure: \u003c\/strong\u003eMany accessory drive belt tensioners have a pulley integrated into the assembly.
