timing

As the trusty 124 marches on @ 227K now I was wondering what the life of the Timing chain was & or the Tensioner. Should I be considering renewal? The Engine does have a rattle, especially cold Boyd

Hi guys. I just purchased a 2005 slk 200 kompresor , what an awesome vehicle , but have since been warned about the timing chains going . Is this true ? And if so what if anything can be done to prevent this. Or should they be replaced at a certain point. Thanx Steve

so im looking to upgrade my slk to a 2002 model, i have 3 to look at and they have all roughly done 100k miles, which i believe this is the time to change your timing chain, any ideas as to what it would cost and is it only MB dealers that can do it? .. also are there any hints if its going on...

Hi all, Tackling the head gasket on my 230E which did not need to be done but am doing it anyway as the miles are stacking up (187,000) on original gasket. I'm restoring the car very slowly to its former glory so started off with this job. I've taken the head off, all in good condition...

Ive got a leak at the front of the engine coming from the gasket underneath the timing cover. I've started stripping things down to replace the gasket. Taken the distributor cap and rotor arm off but I can't get the bracket on which the rotor arm is mounted to budge. Removed the torx screw...

Hi all, Still in the process of replacing the head gasket on my 94 e220 coupe W124. Does anyone know what sealant can be used for the upper timing cover ? The manual states it should be Omnifit FD10, however the dealer did not list it and a google search doesnt shed much light either...

Just looking for some info on the timing marks for a OM605 engine. I have the crank at 0, the two marks on the cams across from each other so the pin fits it. However the engine locks up when trying the turn it by hand? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Hi guys, having read a number of posts regarding timing chains, there seems to be some ambiguity as to when,or if indeed ever it is necessary to change the chain.Having had vehicles in the past with cam belts that have snapped and having to deal with bent valves etc makes me slightly nervous...

Apologies if this has been asked a million times but how do you check the timing chain stretch on this engine? If it needs changing, is it relatively easy to do using a chain and a split link? thanks
