So to access the tensioner you’ll need to remove the alternator & on the timing cover (behind where the alt is), you’ll see a black one time use plug that you’ll need to poke a hole through and wedge out. Once you remove that, you can remove the 19mm bolt tensioner. Screw a new one in, and once your cams & crank are lined up, with the cams locked in place with the tool, turn the crank counterclockwise to release the tensioner.
By disconnect the old chain and connect a new chain to the old one and the engine in the direction of its rotation and feed the chain and connect the new one together.
I have a 2016 GLC 300 need timing chain replaced. Has80000 miles but BNZ refuse to repair warranty because I did not service the vehicle from authorize service center. Now it parks in my driveway. Diagnostic fault code P03400.My question is where is the broken timing chain? was it fall inside homeware's that can damage the engine? After replacing the chain what kind of issue I may going to have? Please answer.
Amazing that old experienced mechanics don’t know that the 2 piece pulley moves. Never use OT instead Find TDC from the piston top and set timing with that as reference

Great video . I'm replacing the exhaust cam do you know the torque spec of the 20 E-bolts holding them to the cylinder head?and the torque of the camshaft adjusters. Thank you
I am wondering what order is best to do the chain in? Can tensioner be removed in the beginning of process and left to last step or does it not matter? Also whilst having the sprockets off and chain de-linked, is there any possibility of chain falling off bottom sprocket? Same question for the cam sprockets. Any advice would be much appreciated
I'm doing this repair myself. 1. park the car where you feel comfortable leaving it for a long time. Drain the coolant. 2 . To answer your question. Have the car at TDC and use the cam holders/locker as seen on this video to lock the cams into set position. 3. Remove the tensioner to release tension on the chain. From there you remove the cams and delink the chain. If you have questions feel free to ask.
Question: my car rattles on start up, while driving it is not as bad. When I accelerate quickly it rides rough. Getting cam position sensor error. Is this all related to the cam adjusters failing? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Can someone help me, i drive e200 w211 1.8 Kompressor. And i have check engine light on. Went to a garage. Repairman read the fault. It was Camshaft adjuster. So i have a rattling sound, previous owner changed the timing chain. So everything was new. Once the repair guy. Looked at the chain. He said that one camshaft needs to be replaced ( and its fifty-fifty chance of success, but the same problem could occur.) he changed the camshaft were the chain was banging around, new bracket new cam. Engine was driving smooth. I paid 750€ for the repairs. Next day I was driving to work, same thing check engine light went on , and i already hear rattle again.) So my repairman said you need new engine, because thats a common problem with 1.8 kompressors. He said your options are new engine or sell the car. I went to other garage for second opinion. Because I really love that car. He said both of the brackets should be changed and the problem would be solved. (The first guy said, that it could be variety of reasons why cams are breaking, could be to much oil pressure so it imbalances the chain, thats why the rattle sounds comes back.) the second guy who is only repairing Mercedes veichles said to me I could change two brackets and problem solved. One bracket costs around 500-530€ so two new brackets and labour. It could pass the 1k mark in repair cost. What should I do , trust the guy who only fixes mercedes, or just get rid of the car. And search for something new? I am so lost……..
If the repair was done correctly, the shouldn’t come back. I would bring the car back to him and let him fix it. It sounds like he missed diagnostics in the first place.
Exactly my thought. Rather do a full timing job with a complete kit than just replacing 3-4 components. I am currently doing it on my C250 and changed all rails/guides, the lower bracket and both timing & balance shaft chains. Both guide rails can be removed once you take the lower timing cover off. It takes some work, but totally doable.
What is the mileage? If the mileage is 120k or less should be covered under warranty. If so, bring your car to the dealer and it should be a free repair.

No worries it’ll be fluid with oil when the job done.
Hi can you give an overview of all screws torques? An are camshaft adjusters also something like 90Nm +90°?
Good ,but it is missing the removal of the adjuster and the tensionner ,someone else did for you or yu hide it?
is the top timing chain guide rail supposed to make contact with the timing chain or just have a small gap in between? was doing a valve cover gasket replacement and found it had snapped inside.
Besides the adjuster being on the marks and crank at 0 do the chains have too be at a certain position or you can install it however.
No
great clear video. So i was wondering why not change the crank pulley and the main chain guides?

What was the issue?
After the new camshaft gear bein put and all the marks are correct. what do i need to do after tightening the Camshaft gear ?
there's no need to change the crankshaft gear too? doesn't it get damaged by the loose chain?
How do you set the new timing tensioner? Or do you Just screw it in and leave it?
I didn’t see him touching the tensioner, that’s where I wanted to focus plus the location of it on the cgi
So to access the tensioner you’ll need to remove the alternator & on the timing cover (behind where the alt is), you’ll see a black one time use plug that you’ll need to poke a hole through and wedge out. Once you remove that, you can remove the 19mm bolt tensioner. Screw a new one in, and once your cams & crank are lined up, with the cams locked in place with the tool, turn the crank counterclockwise to release the tensioner.
Great vid! Not sure if I will attempt it myself 😂😂
I'm confused, how did you get the chain on the crank gear without pulling the front cover?🤷
By disconnect the old chain and connect a new chain to the old one and the engine in the direction of its rotation and feed the chain and connect the new one together.
How much tightening torque are the camshaft adjusters tightened to?
Wow you make that look easy my Mercedes needs that done are you anywhere on east coast US?
