Well, nice to see someone with this type of videos. I went , last year, to aa mechanic to change the old pulley with Corteco..now it started to vibrate and sounds like an airplane. 200$ down the drain...now, I ve bought Contitech pulley ( I ve been using Conti/Skf since forever). I ve got all the tools ( ordered the angle calibrator today) but I didnt wanted to do it myself last year...now, I wont change or go.to w mechanic only for harder jobs..changed the clutch, distribution last month ~3500$......I own an X1 N47N. Will see monday how it turns out after changing the crank pulley
I am glad to see that people are finding my channel and are enjoying my videos. This is the reason I am recording these so people can do it themselves and do it right. I have had comments from others here on this video mentioning Corteco being an OEM but to be honest with most things now being made in China I just stick with Febi as I have been using them for over 15 years and never let me down. The Febi pulley is very well balanced and it will last.🤝🏻
@@bilpat5123 you should be ok with car in park position. If it feels like you are applying too much force then consider removing the starter and try lock the flywheel. I think you will be totally fine without any major issues
Hi, Will i be able to lock the crankshaft with that tool on my f11 520d 2012 n47 automatic ? I checked and there is apparently that access hole but just now im thinking to order that tool to lock it and was wondering if it will work thanx
@@TheKeenMechanic Hi, the question is serious. I don't have an angle torque wrench, that's why I'm asking how much is 120° in Nm with a torque wrench? I hope you understand better now. thanks
@@ef293 I am sorry but this is the bmw factory settings. If you don't have an angle gauge just judge it by eye, go right angle at 90 deg then go a bit further. Buy an angle gauge as they are not expensive. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133772104282?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=J4A9zjIQQnq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=RwAnBlHgT8-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hi buddy I have been using mostly Febi for the past 15 years and never had any issues. I can highly recommend them. Thanks for your comment and for watching🤝🏻
hello, what is the name of this part for tightening the strafe on the steps and where can I get it, I changed the crankshaft pulley at a mechanic but I have vibrations on the car, it seems that it did not tighten properly
Hi Do you mean the angle tool or the torque wrench? If you are talking about the angle tool you can get one anywhere on the internet. I got mine from Ebay and was about £15
A lot of manufacturers say you need to use different special tools. You will find sometimes you can come up and make your own special tools sometimes. I used the old timing sprockets to lock the flywheel and stop the crankshaft from spinning.🤝🏻
@@TheKeenMechanic Thanks for your reply. I still think the way from ISTA is better than lock flywheel. Because that special tool can lock inner of pulley directly. Otherwise, the torque should be transmitted to the flywheel through the crankshaft which poses a bad hidden danger. Also that special tool looks easy to DIY. Sorry about my broken English.
@@cpingt1584 your english is excellent. The compression of the engine and locking tool is more than sufficient to hold it in place safely, you are tightening 4 thinner bolts and not 1 big bolt in the centre. This way you don't apply as much force on the crank and flywheel.🤝🏻
Hi mate. I don't sell these, I have a link in the description for the website where I buy them from. I had to buy they myself. If you use my code KM22 you wil get 22% off. Many thanks for watching
I suggest replacing a front crank seal when you are replacing that pulley. I did that job on my car last year. Aftermarket pulley made by Topran that I bought from Autodoc lasted only 31 days on my car and the crank seal made by BGA lasted only 3 months. I have got them replaced by BMW original parts, expensive but reliable.
Not sure if you watched the video in detail but I explained that the replacement of the front crank seal is in a separate video see link here th-cam.com/video/QVq3tKF-pFc/w-d-xo.html I used Febi as I have been using them for over 10 years and never let me down. Also Febi come with 3 years warranty and are OE matching. I know about Topran and other junk like Ridex on autodoc. They overprice them to make people think they are high quality but they are cheap Chinese junk that they try to market as their own brands. Thanks for your message buddy🤝
@@frederiquekruger4818 Febi is not a reliable brand and doesn’t manufacture OEM parts for BMW. I personally would trust INA, Sachs, Valeo, Corteco, or Dayco, as they are reputable OEM suppliers. Febi is like the Primark of car parts - cheap but not always dependable for quality or longevity
@nurousek123 Hi I have no way of testing Corteco vs Febi to see which one is more superior. I went with Febi as I have been using them for 15 years and know the quality is excellent
@@TheKeenMechanic Febi makes some OE parts, like giubo, driveshaft centre bearing, etc… Corteco makes pulleys, Iwis makes timing chains, Sachs makes shock absorbers, clutch kits, flywheels, ZF makes transmission parts, Lemförder makes sway bars, etc… there was a website that stated every OE manufacturer for each BMW part, but I forgot the name 😁
Thanks. I agree they have a very poor design with the location of the timing chains being at the back, which means you have to remove the engine in order to service. Another problem is that people don't change the oil regularly and the timing chains and rod/main bearings fail prematurely. Lovely to drive and very powerfull engine though
@@BertJong 212 kilometres or miles? I'm always dubious when people say their mileage and then follow up saying no problems, because what they always forget to mention is how much they've spent on repairs in that time.
@@MCorrigan 212 k kilometer I did egr delete dpf delete put in downpipe walnoot blasting every 10 k new oil zf8 change oil at 140k I put in some 7k til now but no bearings or timing chain repair yet its going stil like e raket if you whant to have this car you now you have to pay mony for it en I have no problem whet that next year its the bearings en chain replacement
Very good to see this done properly and not using an impact gun to tighten the bolts, well done
Thanks buddy, I try my best to do things right😉
A very interesting video yet again!
Sorry for being so late this time😅
Always good to see a new clean part being installed!
Thanks buddy, glad to hear from you as always. Nice to be able to renew so many old parts. 😊

Does the transmission have to be locked or any special procedure if the engine is still in the car?

@@justboyjustboy2681 Just check with the seller of the tool to make sure it fits your N47. Just to be 100% sure🤝🏻
Yes it says fits n47 but im just thinking if its same on auto and manual? @@TheKeenMechanic
@brostv7332 It should work for both but to be honest I have worked on mostly automatics so just double check that. 🤝🏻
Does it matter if the crank spins when you take it off? Assuming you don't have a cranklock pin.
@@rafh2753 Hi
It doesnt matter if it turns a bit as you are not working on the timing system. If you have removed timing chains then be careful.🤝
I have done this on my 6 cylinder diesel. You will have to buy the special tool to lock your transmission before you tighten the bolts.
I think this FEBi should be great..somebody recomend me today this for bmw e93...and now because i just seen this video..i will buy it.
Hi, please can you answer me. How much is 120° on the torque wrench Nm?

120 degrees is a third of a revolution

It depends on if engine is out of car or not.
which key is needed ?
Hi buddy
What do you mean by key?
If you are asking about the socket size it is E12 internal torx socket
N47 will be the same ? You need to block flywheel and vibrochen ?
N47 automatic gearbox
It should be the same buddy. 🤝🏻
crank locking pin location is next to starter motor on top of gearbox on n47 auto , tool is the same

Febi is OE matching. They match or exceed OE. It says it on their website. They are quality parts and are more affordable than OE
@@TheKeenMechanic Febi costs the same as Corteco, but Corteco’s quality is superior.
