tensioner

Hi there, I'm new to the Mercedes A180 - W169 - 2006. It's my wife's car and it rattles like mad at low revs. I've changed the Poly Belt and some pulleys but that's not stopped the noise I've been told that it could well be the Timing Chain Tensioner but I can't see where it is located and I...

Hi, A quick heads-up re the above on my W205 C220. The car was going in for the Garmin Sat Nav update error (fixed with a software update) and the Dealers asked if they could carry out a service request on the tensioner. Apparently it affects certain 220 engines across the range. Seemingly the...

Hi all, my serpitine belt tensioner is playing up. Its the one with the dampner on (not the normal type) I cannot remove the lower bolt of the tensioner without removing the crank pulley Will the crank pulley have to come off ?? It looks like a bloody big bolt !! Cheers :fail

A180 CDI. This morning we had what I hope is just a chain tensioner failure at 62K. Sound like a bag of spanners rev dependent. Had just previously thought I noticed a slight "whine", but it wasn't clear and was intermittent. Anyway, limped back carefully to my local indep chap and left it...

Hi, while I was out this morn the aux tensioner decided to expire, I removed the pulley while I was out and took the belt of as it was squealing plus loads of blue smoke lol. tho I got home ok with no p's and what have you. The job looks straight forward enough but I thought I would check with...

Hi All, Does anyone have any documentation, advice, hints and tips to replace the V poly belt tensioner and idler pulley on a W208 CLK55? I did have a good search on this forum before posting. I spent most of the day looking on various sites and youtube and found some great videos, but...

Would appreciate advice for changing the above items: - MB or ECP (who offer a Contitech belt and INA pulley and damper)? - What socket size is the tensioner? - I can't quite see it (nor the dust cap that disintegrated when I flicked it off and lies somewhere in the undertray:crazy:). -...

Hi everyone, For a little while now our semiauto / funshift A160 has been making a little whirring sound. Sort of like a very slow helicopter, but the sound speeds up with the revs. It happens when in neutral or in gear. It is a whirring sound that is steady at idle and increases with...

I need someone's advice with these spring loaded rachet type tensioners on the M102 engines please. Even with the rachet engaged into the body the plunger itself can go backwards into the body when pressure is applied but only by 4mm or so then it stops. By means I am able rock the plunger back...

HI Guys I have 160K miles on my CLK 230 Kompressor W208 chasis and at about 2300rpm I hear a little rattle (regardless of what speed I am doing). I having checked the pulleys and replaced a couple, but the noise is still there. I am thinking it may be a worn timing chain tensioner and the...

Hi, My year long struggle with the accessory belt tensioner of my car continues. History from last year: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/162823-s211-alternator-belt-flapping-continued.html#post1824903 This hydraulic tensioner, not only vibrates, it also has started leaking again. I...

Hi lads ,can any one tell me the position the nylon pointer should be on the pully tensioner.After i removed tensioner , it came off, so now not sure of its right place on the tensioner unit . Had to remove it to do the nice job of pump replacement. I found coolant was dripping from the...

Soon after purchasing my E63 I noticed that on start up there was a noticeable rattle from the top end of the engine for a few seconds. This would persist longest if started from stone cold, but was also present if started after the car had been idle for a few hours. It wasn't instantly...

1998, 300 td, 606 engine. does the timing chain tensioner adjust automatically as the chain wears? or does it need adjusting manually? If adjusted manually, how is it done? do you run engine and adjust it whilst listening to it?

Does anybody know if the lower part of tensioner damper is secured by just the bolt or should there be a nut on it? I have changed mine recently and there was no nut on the old one, however there is a nut shaped indentation where the bolt goes through (in the old and new damper). So not sure if...

Hi everyone. On occasions, after I fit my seat belt, and the car automatically tensions it for me, I hear what sounds like an electric motor just behind the right hand side of my head. It runs for perhaps a couple of seconds. Is this normal, if so what is it doing? The belt has already...

HI guys and girls,just a quick bit of advice got a little bit of time on my hands and would like to spend a couple of days fettling my old girl up doesnt sound right that does it,just wondering it has plenty of history but i cant see anything to say belt has been changed,its done 115k now should...

Hi folks this is my first post so pardon any mistakes, this is my second merc a c200 classic 2 litre it's a good car... But the tensioner squealed like a pig so I changed the belt, pulley, and tensioner as they were all shot. The parts went on great but after I select drive and hold the car on...

Having spent a good 45 minutes looking through the EPC I am losing the will to live. I found the timing chain tensioner but can't find the seal that covers it. If any kind soul out there knows the part number for the seal I will be very grateful. Oh! and where is it in the EPC? It is for a C180K...
