timing

Hi All. This is my first post after joining the forum. My wife bought an brand new SLK200 just over 4 years ago. It has been maintained by the dealer. Full service history etc. A couple of months ago (a month after the previous service), the car started making a peculiar noise when starting...

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...

HI Everyone this is my first post would really appreciate any advise - own a Vito 109 battery fault light suddenly came on today whilst driving ? then 5 min down the road after parking up, get this - out side its MOT retest centre? for its retest. Whilst stationary ticking over sudden arratic...

Hey guys I'm removing the front timing case on Mercedes ml280 cdi And I'm stuck I've stripped the front end down and I've took all the bolts out of the front and all the bolts out of the upper sump ( 4 or 5 ) and its loose and wobbling but won't come off I removed it a couple of years ago...

Well, it is now off! Finally. To be honest, i havent actually spent that many hours on it, its just been spread out over a long time! Not complaining seen as i dont have much mechanical experience and very limited tools! But its onwards n upwards from here, get the new cover fitted and build...

My friend Simeon has a 280GE in for engine work and he asks if I could help find the correct MB tool. The timing chain is being split and there is an MB tool to rejoin the chain, but his local dealership isn't able to help - any suggestions welcome, he kindly hosted the Bicester gtg last spring...

Hey guys, so long story kind of short the water pump bearing failed and resulted in cutting into the timing chain casing. Now it was repaired temporarily with quiksteel but only lasted a few months. So i decided to take the pump off and try doing it again, only this time the whole piece of...

While driving my C220 W204 a warning came up saying "check engine oil when next refuelling". Because the engine started to sound rough I drove the four miles to the main dealer very gently. The engine did not overheat nor was there a warning of low oil pressure. However, the engine required a...

Hi. Lately I have noticed when I 1st start my car the it a rattle. Only last 1 second or even less. Only happens if the car has been left. Sounds like a timing chain rattle. Has anyone else had this? Not sure if it's normal.

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 all I have a 2006 C180 Kompressor (1.8L engine) which has done 75,000 miles. I have heard horror stories of the single timing chain (I believe this model has just one chain) stretching then breaking on this model sometimes, in the region of 70,000 - 120,000 miles, and causing damage to...

variable valve timing sprockets, what are they. Mercedes says my w204 needs them?? whining on cold start for about 20 secs??

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...

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...
