[Ansuya]

hi guys

just want to know what the approximate amount that one would be charged to correct the timing on a BMW E46 320d 2002 model?


Thanks

no idea dude.

is this a shop price or his price

i'd rather go do some homework on this one -

the tool sells for K on the bay

i used SAC for my bakkie- for a timing and tune -1250

just a thought here, if your car is a 2002 320d it should have a common rail injection engine , right?

i speak under corrction here,but as far as i know the common rail engine's injection timing gets handled by the ecu, no mechanical timing to be set.. only the pre facelift engines with mechanical distributer pump's injection timing needs to be manually set?

you rite dude :thumbsup:

it's more of calibrating each injector -

i'd shop around first

what exactly is wrong with the car ?
