tension

Hello Right a slight issue I have come across when fitting the timing chain to my 320ce w124 (m104 engine) it's all lined up but I'm having difficulties tensioning it up, also there is a clutch cam that I'm a bit unsure on how it fits, all help appreciated in advance also any diagrams or how...

All, Just purchased a new 2004 w209 CLK Cabrio and must say i am over the moon so far, however after a sunny weekend and the roof going up and down multiple times i came across an issue with the roof when up, i noticed that a small piece of leather was protruding in the area of the rear...

Well iv got my water pump now and everything looks straight forward but i still have one question for you better in the know people. How do i release the tension on the poly belt please ? i notice there is a torx male anti tamper bolt in the middle of the tensioning roller so planning on...

The instructions for removing/replacing the polybelt suggests holding off the tensioner with a 5mm pin or drill but I cannot see a hole. Access to get a good look is not easy. I would be grateful for a clue where to look! Thanks (R129 SL500)

Hi there, Got a rattle from what i think is the bearing on the tension wheel bearing on the drive belt. Its a 94 / 95 w202. Has anyone done one in the past and what parts do i need. I have looked on Euro parts and have become confused. There seems to be the whole thing ( i think ) or just the...

Once in a while the drive belt for my air con compressor will slip. Nothing major, the noise is just a bit embarrassing! I can see all the belt needs is to be tightened up a little, but thats where my problem starts. On early W126's the belt could be tensioned by using nothing more than a 19mm...

My W124 250TD (5 cylinder non turbo diesel estate) is producing some white smoke on acceleration, and at idle there is a new, although barely detectable rattle just behind the radiator. Might this be a broken tension spring? A well informed colleague suggested that it might be from the sound...

Is there any special procedure for setting the drive belt tension on the E220, I know this tensioner does not have a damper and uses a rubber pad insert to provide the spring loaded tension. Is this a pre-fixed tension determined by the characteristics of the rubber pad insert or is there a...
