Hi all got a

E39 530i auto

2001

147000 miles

Just noticed today a rattle when you tap accelerator and let off again

Put ear as close to hot engine as could get it lol and seemed to be coming from black cover that covers cam???

Here is a video not very good but you will get the point.

Just bit worried timing chain has come loose?????

Thanks

Yes sounds like a timing chain fault. Any lack of performance or lights on dash?

Where you based about mate?

No lights on dash seems to run absolutely fine changed the oil and filter today

Have noticed last few days she seems to be in to higher gear as sluggish and seems to skip up and down gears a bit but that's another story

Engine apart from rattle seems fine

Don't get hot

Getting 125 miles to quarter of a tank still returning 25mpg

She don't get hot
