The Service Measure covers:
'N47, N47S, N47T, slipping noises in the engine, timing chain scraping'
From:
'01/03/07 - 01/03/11'
Cause:
'Sharp edges on the chain wheels or the timing chain does not run evenly over the sliding rails'
There are two distinct methods of dealing with the problem depending on build date.
N47, N47DK0, N47S, production period 01.03.2007 to 05.01.2009:
Renew:
- 11 21 7 803 479 Exchange crankshaft with bearing shells [Crank must be manufactured after 05/01/2009] >> this suggests that all cranks prior to that build have questionable sprockets??
- 11 41 7 797 896 Chain for the oil pump drive.
- 11 31 8 506 652 Bottom timing chain.
- 13 52 7 797 906 Sprocket for the high pressure pump drive.
- 11 27 7 800 523 Gearwheel (idler gear for the balancing shafts).
- 11 31 8 510 014 Top timing chain.
- 11 31 7 797 899 Sliding rail/guide rail for the top timing chain.
- 13 52 7 797 904 Sliding rail/guide rail for the bottom timing chain.
N47, N47DK0, N47S, N47T, production period 05.01.2009 - 01.03.2011:
Renew:
- 11 31 8 506 652 bottom timing chain.
- 13 52 7 797 906 Sprocket for the high pressure pump drive.
- 11 31 8 510 014 Top timing chain.
- 11 31 7 797 899 Sliding rail/guide rail for the top timing chain.
- 13 52 7 797 904 Sliding rail/guide rail for the bottom timing chain.
----------------------------------------
Now dealing with part numbers changing or not changing; a simple quote:
'Note: New sliding rails are available from March 2011.
These sliding rails no longer have any strengthening bars.
The contact face on the sliding rails is therefore thoroughly even.
The timing chain runs quietly over the sliding rails.
The part numbers have not changed.'
'Vehicles produced after 03/2011 and vehicles where all of the current measures have already been
fitted, must not be repaired again! Noise characteristics is currently series status! There is no risk of the
timing chain breaking!
Replacement of the engine because of this fault is not permitted!'
