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...

We are nearing the end of my 190 C36 build and have hit a snag for which I am asking for help . After completing the installation of the engine we ran it for a while and realised it needed a new head gasket , this was done and also the head was skimmed . Upon reinstalling we cannot get the...

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...

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...

Hello, Just read Podmo topic on his engine and the timing not proper, the question I have is that I did the timing awhile ago, got the tool but mess it up a wee bit and decided to finish it visually. The engine run better for sure, but if I did it a wee too far, would that be a worry or not at...

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...

I have a CLK 230K, W208 (1999) and I do not use it much, current mileage is about 40K. Although I have looked after the car it is not near the mileage for a normal timing belt change, but the years are creaping by. I suspect that the rubber belt (assuming its not a chain) will perish over...

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...

Anyone have one of these knocking about part number 617 589 08 21 00

I have had a tiny oil leak for the past year at the front of my engine. Yesterday/today my car has had a major service/MOT (which it sailed through of course :) ) and, after speaking to my mechanic he showed me where he thinks the leak is coming from. After looking at the engine diagrams on...

Anyone know the correct timing spec for this model? I think it's the M102 engine. Also would it be a good idea to advance the timing a tad & run it on higher octane fuel? :)

A fiend of mine has a C220 cdi and asked me whether it has a tming belt or chain. I don't know, so thought I'd ask the knowledgeable folk here! Also, if it's a belt, anyone know the changeing mileage? many thanks!

Hi Im new to this group just lookin for some unanswered questions! I have been wondering what is the difference between the merc and bmw valve timing as when you chip tune mercs and bmws they both act different the mercs seem to drink alot more but when you do it to a bmw they actually give you...

Hi, Test drove a 1994 C220 Elegance auto, FSH up to 45k in 2003, it's mileage in now 50k - 6 years later, worried about the timing chain, does it need to be replaced?? Car in great and original condition, want to buy if wife lets me! Kind regards, kevwey

Hi all, Been browsing through my service book for the car and am wondering when the timing belt (or is it a chain in these things?) needs changed. Car has done 72k (ish) and I can't see any sign of it having been done before. Always been MB serviced and is due another service in about 4k. I...
