So I finally get to pick up my car on Thursday, after it going in for a sensor change on the 9th May... Yep, you heard that right, 2 months and 18 days at the dealer. Granted, about a month of this is due to the dealer being absolute dog****e and taking forever to get to even start work on the...

Hi All I posted a question about possible faults with a 2004 C180 that I may be buying. Grober was kind enough to respond and he said that there was a potential Timing Chain issue on higher mileage cars. With this in mind, I have confirmed with the vendor that the car hasn't had the timing...

Hi, I am new here. We are driving a 2007 E200, so M271 engine. Because so much is written about the wear of the timing chain and sprockets I decided to take a look: I found a lot of teeth broken off of the sprockets. The chain was still very tight, so that might have saved the engine. I am...

Hi guys I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm getting a rattling noise from the engine (C180, 2Litre Petrol, 2001. 111 series engine). The noise is akin to marbles in a can. It only occurs at idle however. I've recorded a 30 second video and put it on youtube...

My garage says the timing chain is sometimes noisy on start up on my 2006 V6 3.0 CDI and so needs replacing. Should I change the sprockets at the same time? Thanks

The good news is it is possible to remove the cylinder head from a W638 Vito with the engine in the vehicle. I couldn't find this info anywhere before I started so I hope it's of use. Thinking about putting this back together, can anyone confirm that the chain tensioner need to be removed...

Hi all, My car has recently (and very gradually) become very rattly at the front of the engine. I assume this must be the timing chain and/or tensioner. Is it an easy job to do (I'm reasonably competent mechanically) and is there anything else I should look at while doing it? The car has done...
