BMW X3 3.0L timing issues

Posted
Posted

Installed timing chain complete with oil chain parts. Used the proper tools to make sure the timing is set correctly. (2010 BMW X3 3.0L)

after install it started but ran poorly with P13B6, P13B4, and P0306 codes. Cleared the codes and started it again with the same results. Tried a third time the next day and got a P0016 and did not start. Took top cover off and checked the timing with the timing tools again and it checked okay again. Cleaned the sensor connections. (Two new timing sensors were installed along with the new chain parts. Put the top back together and got the P0016 again. Not sure where to go from here.

Hi Kerry

Welcome to the Forum

If you are absolutley certain the physical timing is OK then this could well be a sensor issue crankshaft and camshaft sensors are not communicating 

The first 2 codes are Camshaft related the 3rd is Misfire Cylinder 6. P0016 confirms there is an issue with Crankshaft/Camshaft communication 

Just because they are new doesn't mean they are right do you have the old sensors to try ?

Full diagnostic with a good BMW friendly reader would/should tell more 

Dave

      BMW 2 Series

      As of last month, my first BMW. A 2025 M240ix, Skyscraper Grey. Just an old dude having a late mid-life crisis looking for some fun and excitement on the road. I did not enjoy the 75 day wait after placing the order. I know it's subjective, but I'm trying to protect and add to the car with ideas from family, friends,etc. I initially gave the car the full Xpel protection treatment. XR+ tint, full body Ultimate Plus PPF and Fushion Plus ceramic coating. Also installed reflector deletes and carbon fiber door sills. They will be installing the full interior PPF kit when templates becomes available. Also wanted to mention the floor mats on the car. Bought the complete set, including the trunk from TuxMat. Bar none, the best I've ever had for a car. Next came the performance parts. I had a Dinan carbon fiber cold air intake and inlet pipe put on the engine. Also installed their throttle booster and exhaust controller. Last was replacing the stock spoiler (meh) with the TRE ID-01 carbon fiber spoiler. The new intake made a small improvement in sound. Throttle Booster was a bigger surprise than expected. Exhaust controller not so much. Early next year looking to further enhance the exhaust notes. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The AA down pipe looks and sounds great. Due to possible warranty issues down the road, I may wait on that a bit. May initially start with the Dinan axel back exhaust?

      M240i wheel advice

      Thank you Dave, I'll give it some thought, I'd have to get a friend in the Midlands area inspect and collect which isn't ideal, just too far away for me. I don't think they will sell quickly given time of year so I'm in no rush, best wishes for Xmas and 2025

      Instrument cluster suddenly died

      Morning Kristian Welcome and Seasons Greetings If you repaired the fault by changing the board and the fault has repeated then my thinking is the fault is with the power feed to the instrument panel overloading it,could be Junction box related or Footwell control module related. A diagnostic scan is needed to try and track it down Dave
