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
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.
2014 Mercedes c250 sport sedan is it a interference engine or non interference. The chain did not break but engine stopped running and both cams are 4 or 5 teeth out of time.
Hi sir, hope you're doing i have same engine benz c250 w204 it gives me 2 faults code p0016 and P0017 saying camshafts position sensors so i changed my car both camshafts position sensors it didn't work so now i am confused what should i do should change camshaft adjusters or check the timing any suggestions and one thing i want to add that my car starts quickly, i didn't hear any noise the problem that i facing is low fuel mileage and decrease in acceleration losing power, missing please answer. thanks alot
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 hear some slapping noises on top of the engine cover. Does that mean I need timing chain replace? How much would it cost? 2012 Mercedes 1.8L sedan w204
Hi i have a question, when i replace the camshafts, must i replace the Central valve camshaft adjuster too or can i use problem free the one which i screw it up ? Please helps, thx
ik have a m271 here i having trouble lining things up what ever i do 0/t mark is off by 5 degrees before when moving 1 tooth on both cams its 10 degrees after what am i missing
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!
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.
Great content my friend! I’ve got one of these in my stall right now! Just wished you showed the power steering and coolant portion of the job. And explain how long this jobs really takes.
I'm also doing this job. I didnt touch the steering fluid you can remove the front timing cover without removing the steering fluid reservoir . For the coolant i drained it first on the button of the car right side .you have a valve to drain it .

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.

Thanks for the video. Best guidance on the topic!

Great vid! Not sure if I will attempt it myself 😂😂
great clear video. So i was wondering why not change the crank pulley and the main chain guides?
After the new camshaft gear bein put and all the marks are correct. what do i need to do after tightening the Camshaft gear ?
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
At how many miles has the chain been replaced on this vehicle? And what was the oil change intervals?..Thank you for a informative video
there's no need to change the crankshaft gear too? doesn't it get damaged by the loose chain?
2014 Mercedes c250 sport sedan is it a interference engine or non interference. The chain did not break but engine stopped running and both cams are 4 or 5 teeth out of time.
What’s the torque for the Cam phasers?
Need to also change oil because coolant water dropped to oil pan?
Thank you.
How do you set the new timing tensioner? Or do you Just screw it in and leave it?

What was the issue?
after everything is done and you going to start engine first time should be still on 0T ? If not where it should be ?
Is the amazon kit reliable and is it worth it to buy an aftermarket or from meredes auto parts
One minute the timing marks are being lined up then the cam pulleys magically vanish, easy...
How many miles does it go after changing it?

@onemanonfire
After installing all the components, how many times must you turn it for tensioner to release?
It’s 45 degrees
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?

Special tools needed for this job: Cam shaft hold down tool, to hold cam shafts in place, timing chain tool, break old chain and connect new one.

Hey mate. How did you go with this? Mine has done the same thing, when i set the tensioner it goes about 5 degrees out not matter what i do.
@ make sure the intake side is done first and tight. When the tensioner is activated the chain should still be inline.
