Thanks for the great vid mate, helped guide me through replacing the timing gears on my c200 2013 without any fuckups or breakages. Wish I could like your vid 10 times over.
You would hear rattling correct, when decelerating, that’s why you changed the cam gears? Mine has been suffering from this over 3 years already. Only sometimes the rattling happens then it doesn’t. I need to get it fixed. Thank you for this video it’s really helpful.👍
@carworks101 or anybody else is interested. What kind of camera do you all recommend when working on a vehicle. Whenever I'm working I try to take a video but my little head camera that I borrowed from my son has like an 8 minute limit on it and I tried one of those things where you wear your phone on your head and that's just awkward. What's the best way to video tape while you're working on a car. What's a good camera to use and how do you position it
Have you hever used the aftermarket gears? Febi bilstein etc.....these things are $800.00 each from MB. I usually buy OEM only but these are ridiculous from MB. Great video BTW!! I would use OEM tensioner , VC gaskets, chain guides though.
Is there a way to check if the chain stretched and needs replacement to without taking it off? Marking it like you did and just doing the adjusters seems better but not wanting to take everything apart twice
After the tensioner “activated” it’s no longer on top center. The paint marker spots are still on the chain in the right spot tho. Thinking the chain might have stretched and needs to be replaced?
I was after i little advice please ive had my timing chain done but every so often my eml comes on and still getting camshaft sensor a come up on the obd reader. Had my timing checked again by a mechanic and my timing is fine just the camsaft sensor a ive replaced the sensor but still keeps happening any suggestion at all.. its mercedes c180 2010
The m271.8 evo timing marks on the camshafts shouldn’t line up. I replaced both camshafts and lined them up correctly and got a p0017. Found out that the camshafts are out of spec on some m271.8 engines. So I just spun the engine to TDc took off the chain and let the camshafts reset themselves. Put the chain back on and no code. Now I have a rough idle. My scanner is showing me that my ignition angle is around -10 to 15 degrees. So I think my tensioner is not out.
@@carwerks101 thank you. Just a one more question If you’d be so kind. Do you have a list of parts and tools that you used for this video including the random ones you said should be replaced?
I got p0017 code.. Changed bank one cam sensor and magnet..code came back.. Should I change bank two sensor and magnet too..or what..?? Drives good, sometimes a rough idle (sometimes, not often).. No rattle or noise.. 2013 C250..189 miles..
I change the adjuster on bank one/exhaust side.. You saying you think I need to do the adjuster on bank two/intake side..?? And if that don’t fix it, I need a new timing change..??
@@sherwinpangilinan4079 just stick a screw driver in there and push on the lower guide while turning the engine over, it will push back on your screw driver but as long you keep tension you will be fine
@@carwerks101 Hi, I lost the timing marks on my chain when i put the gears back apparently they dont line up, What should I do? But the crak is dead on 0-T
