Thank you for the video!! Mine is year 2010, C200, W204 and OM651, and 200 000 km. I followed the steps and all went well except for one thing. The lower edge of the heat shield was in the way of getting the 27 mm in place onto the tensioner. I had to remove two of the bolts holding the heat shield, and then bending the shield maybe 10mm outwards, away from the tensioner. (The last bolt holding the shield was not reachable)😊 Also worth mentioning; the rattle at first startup was terrible and lasted for quite a few seconds!! I hope it didn't ruin anything in there. 😮😮😮 We hope for the best.
UPDATE AUG 2024 1. For c class w204 om651 near before taking out the tensioner, there is 1 more element(starter protection) with 2 bolts that needs to be lossened because your wrench cannot touch completly the tensioner 2.first engine start after tensioner swap has a big rattle sound for 2-4 seconds because the new tensioner doesnt have pressured oil inside, so he needs to build it inside the engine
@@Mercedesadventurz appreciate you! Please do consider making videos about a full first time service on this engine, such as transmission, haldex, perhaps how to breath out when replacing waterpump etc. subbed to your channel
Hello everyone!I start by saying that,I did what Mr. showed us in the video,but without success,I changed the tensioner with the original Mercedes parts,and the noise still persists,so I don't know what is the problem,thank you
Just did that, took around 2h guys with a help of a friend, some bolts are paint in a… to get to and put them back on, seems like it did the job for me
Czesc, mam problem z grzechotaniem po odpaleniu auta na zimnym silniku. Tylko przy starcie przez sekunde lub dwie slychac grzechot. Pozniej jest ok i nie ma zadnych bledow. Co najgorsze, stalo sie to po wymianie rozrzadu (kola zebate VAICO, lancuch ori, napinacz ori). Widze ze pisza tez o walkach rozrzadu ale nie chce mi sie wierzyc w ta teorie tym bardziej ze przed wymiana bylo ok. Podpowiesz cos?
How can i check what my Numbers are, before removing the steering wheel? Maybe im wrong but i noticed that pre lift Numbers are ending with last two Numbers 18, and after lift ending with 45.
Hi great video and good to see the positive comments. Quick question please. Is it necessary to prime the new tensioner? I suspect the oil pressure will build the tensioner pressure up when started but that first start will mean the tensioner won’t be primed without oil? I see user andrewkerrigan had the noise on first start up. I suspect this means the tensioner isn’t pre primed? Thanks
Hello W204 c250 cdi 2011 worked spot on, and it didn't take very long. Chain noise on the first start up, then all good it's been a week now. Moving on to the next job. Thank you very much for saving me a lot of money
Nicely done. You are supposed to install a pin on the tensioner after you relieve pressure on the belt and leave the pin in while removing and instlaling the belt. At 4:51 it would have been easier to install the belt if you had left that pin in untill after you got it on. That way you don't have to hold the tensioner while installing or removingthe belt....but you got it done so good on you.
@@dieschnellekatze do you also have this rattle on a morning cold start. Yes it can be tensioner. But ive got some other theorys on the route cause. That sets this in motion. Infact not just a theory. In my case ive proved by various experiments. My theory is fact. If your interested to hear. Reply here
i have the same problem bro , i installed correctly it works perfect everything but the esp message shows up and it doesent go also when i restet it . can you please give me a tip what schould i do to delete dhe ESP message? thanks
@@Mercedesadventurz yes i did everything perfect , i have read and it says is a intern fail on steering angle sensor . everything works just the message appears . if you have a contact number or something write it please . i need some help
Listen brodie dont stress. I walk u through process 1. Disconnect battery 2. Take old sensor off. 3. Connect the battery BEFORE putting new sensor back in 4. Follow instructions on YOUR sensor while the battery is connected 5. Put everything back together and see if it goes away. If not, turn wheel all the way left and all the way right. Try erasing the fault code. If that does not work you have another faulty sensor. Did you buy used or new? What is the part number?
@@Mercedesadventurz hi can i ask are you experienced in this om651 chain rattle cold start issue. As yes tensioners fail. But i have a theory on the route cause. That sets this in motion. Could we chat here
