Hi all I have had a slight rattle on cold start and engine management light on for a few months now. Which intermittently turns on and off. I decided today to take it to local mechanic to get it checked out using his diagnostic machine.
Camshaft timing
Error in exhaust camshaft detected
I have been told that the timing chain, balance chain needs to be replaced at a whopping £850+VAT
Apparently takes 8 hours to complete and that included supply and fit price.
I've called up mercedes Solihull parts department who advised that it is advised that the tensioner is changed too so got the details for that at the same time.
MB Solihull quoted the below prices for OEM parts
Timing Chain - 0009932176
@ £142.80 inc vat
Balance Chain - 0009932176
@ £126.00 inc vat
Tensioner - 2710500611
@ £79.20 inc vat
Is there anyone in Birmingham / Solihull area who can change my timing chain and the other bits above for a reasonable price?
I've just had the arrival of a baby boy so finances are a little tight.
Hope you can help
Thanks
