Timing Chain Tensioner (4.4)

[740ilDuke]

The one I replaced is Part# 11 31 7 531 813. This one costs $55 and can be had here: at X5 Engine Mechanical & Under Hood Parts


There are other tensioners, but there is NO access to them without tearing down the engine - this is the only one you can replace to help prolong the life of your engine and timing chain guides. Wise investment, IMHO.
