Hi,
I have a 2013 E220 CDI with 60k on the clock and it rattles on startup firtst thing for about 2 seconds.
It's coming from the rear of the engine where the timing chain is.
I plan to change the chain and tensioner in place rather than removing the engine as I'm assuming the guides with be OK, I at least think it's worth a shot.
Has any one done this job themselves? The issues I forsee are;
1, getting the correct chain splitter so I can split the old chain, attach new to old, then re-connect the new one.
2, Injector seals and seats- will I need to re-cut the seats?
3, Camshaft locking tool- will I need one?
Many thanks for any responses.
