Mercedes Benz OM651 Vito - Timing Chain Tensioner Replacement

[@richardskip]

Changed the tensioner on my vito engine (OM 651) too. No more rattle at all. To prime the tensioner I put it in a mug with oil and pressed it several times till it felt firm.
I had to push the tensioner hard to install it because I couldnt put the engine in OT. Theres just no room for a tool.
2 hour job.

Thanks so much! Had been looking for something on the Vito, couldn’t find anything. Doesn’t look like too bad a job. Thanks again 🙏
