Hi again, I was just wondering if the c240 had a chain or belt.....i think its a chain but i'm not sure.......and when is it expected to be changed within the engine service life time..... TIA :D

Interesting what you talk about on Christmas eve:D I was discussing this very thing with a retired diesel engineer and he is strongly against cam chains:eek: The reason, they stretch and can, over a period of years, affect the valve timing. So I thought I would discuss this issue with the...

What does my C220cdi have to drive the camshaft - is it a belt or chain. And what are the service requirements and replacement intervals? Thanks, David

My how-to to replace oil guides or oil channels on a 119 motor (5.0L V8) http://www.baxnet.net/merc/oilguides/story.htm

Currently looking into buying a 1991 500SL. Does anyone know at what intervals the cam chain is to be replaced? I am led to believe that 100,000 miles is correct. Roughly how much would you expect to pay for the job to be carried out? Cheers in advance. Olly
