Keep the timing chain properly tensioned and quiet with the INA US Engine Timing Chain Tensioner ZT0014. This rear timing chain tensioner is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1997-2003 BMW 540I, 1997-2001 BMW 740I, 1996-2001 BMW 740IL, 1996-1997 BMW 840CI, and 2000-2003 BMW X5.
A timing chain tensioner takes up slack in the timing chain and holds it firmly against the chain guides so the chain tracks correctly as the engine runs.
- Rear position: serves the rear timing chain tensioner location on the listed BMW engines.
- Maintains chain tension: applies steady pressure to remove slack and help limit chain slap and rattle.
- Direct-fit replacement: built to install on the listed applications.
Timing chain rattle or noise at cold start or idle can be a sign this tensioner may need replacing. Diagnose the cause first, since worn guides, the chain, or other components can produce similar noise; if a failed tensioner is the cause, this part replaces it and re-establishes proper chain tension.
