chain

Hi Gang, Started stripping the 190E yesterday (M102 1.8 8v) in order to replace the head gasket. All going fairly smoothly so far, just need to remove a last few nuts/bolts from the inlet side and take out the chain tensioner/cam etc. I haven't touched the pin for the timing chain guide...

I believe the above needs replacing on the 3.2 M104 engine in our '95 estate so I fancy doing it myself (seems straightforward enough as long as you keep an eye on the timing chain itself and dont let it jump a sprocket) I have printed out a number of links on american sites but wondered...

Hi all, It's been a very long while since I last visited this forum but when in need of info relating to the MB, I always come back here... Anyhow, it's that time of the year again with the cold spell about to set in. After getting stuck last year in the 211 when it snowed in London, I was...

following on from my previous post http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/75557-4000rpm-limit.html I have eventually got round to doing a static timing today. I locked off the camshaft and this was where the timong mark on the crank pully was For those in the know, is this to far advanced...

hi all, the timing chain snapped today on my 1998 vito 108d. Removed the rocker cover and all the chain was located around the tensiner area, and not around the pulleys. Any advice on how to thread a new chain around the system please. Had alittle look, was thinking to remove the vaccuum...

Does anybody know where I can get a chain breaker/riveter for a double roller timing chain I have seen a few on Ebay, but not sure whether they are suitable for a double row chain.

Hello. I need to release the timing chain on my 110 engine as I am replaceing the head gasket. I took off the plug, at least what I think is the plug but I didn't see what I expected. Here is a photo. How do I proceed from here? I thought the spring would come out behind the plug and that there...

Just changed head gasket on E200 - everything good except it has developed a whinning noise - thought it might be pulleys - checked all ok, might be chain? any ideas? would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, This timing chain was bought for my 2000 W210 E320 cdi a while back with the intention of changing it. Unfortunately the car was gone before i got around to changing it. Recently found it while clearing out garage and is of no use to me now. It was bought brand new from Mercedes...

W123 '84 230 CE. The engine is very clattery when started from cold for a few seconds but as soon as the oil pressure comes up on the guage, the noise disappears. I have been told this is probably the timing chain and it seems to be coming from the front of the engine. Oil pressure when idling...

AMG was at the scammers today to have a suspected timing chain rattle looked into. After having the timing case off the chain and tensioner was given a clean bill of health. The dealership now has no idea where the rattle is originating from and wants a further 20 hours diagnostic time which...
