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?
Good job sir thanks for information
謝謝，感謝您的分享，感恩！
Hi can you give an overview of all screws torques? An are camshaft adjusters also something like 90Nm +90°?
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.
Oh My God!
5:25 Cooling fluid goes to oil tank.
probably sump is removed.
Lo mismo vi yo, creo que tuvo que drenar todo el refrigerante, antes de destapar el frente del motor, por que al sacar cayó bartajrw hasta el cárter. Hubiera aprovechado y cambiado el oriing del ducto de refrigerante
No worries it’ll be fluid with oil when the job done.
Thanks for the good video. It explains a lot to understand. What is the tool you used to remove the adjuster body?
Mercedes oem tool
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 .
No need to touch steering fluid or coolant hose.
after everything is done and you going to start engine first time should be still on 0T ? If not where it should be ?
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.
Is the amazon kit reliable and is it worth it to buy an aftermarket or from meredes auto parts
Good
Thanks you!
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 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
150Nm
Love it your video! Good job.
Bro m271, what is the common issue? How about it the cam and cranck sensor? Hard to replace?
No. It’s very easy if you have tools and some handy man skills.
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
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video post.what Brand parts did you use ?
Oem
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
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
What was the issue?
One minute the timing marks are being lined up then the cam pulleys magically vanish, easy...
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
Yes.
Good video. I wanted to see how you undo the timing chain and how did you connect the chain back together again.
There's a special riveting tool.
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.
@@MercedesBenzTipsTricks do i have to change out the chain or you think just changing out the adjusters will be enough for my rattling upon start up?
@MercedesBenzTipsTricks Can you help and answer if we have tio change the chain or just the adjuster? 2008 ML350 W164 with " P0016 Constant Adjustment Of Intaek Canshaft Of Right Bank in Dircection "Retarded". Thank you very much
Hello, I need the timing adjustment on my 2007 Cls 550. I live in Anaheim any recommendations you can assist me with.
There’s no timing adjustment on this car.
Hello, can we use the new ILSAC GF-6 0w30 oil on this engine, beeing a 1.8 200 kompressor 163cv?
I won't recommend any oil by side Mercedes-Benz proven oil Mobile 1
Great video! What about the chain tensioner? No need to uninstall ?
It must remove after timing is set prior to remove the chain and adjusters.

The tensioner on the M271 CGI is a single use component; once disassembled, it must be replaced.
@@Brainiarc7if you got brains,it could be reused .
Need to also change oil because coolant water dropped to oil pan?
Thank you.
I'm a little confused. The top position of the crank shaft is on the scale letter T (10.26) or on the line between zero and T (12.12)
Between the 0 and T. Should end up with the "10" marks exactly same distance on each side. 6:30

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.
@@OneManOnFire I have already figured it out (chain tensioner goes on last) and car drives great, thank you for your support!
Better after valve cover removed and marked timing chain and adjusters.
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!
@onemanonfire
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
same issue I'm having . shit engine .
still didnt figure it out or?
@@steve-zx3dy
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?
After installing all the components, how many times must you turn it for tensioner to release?
It’s 45 degrees
Is the M271 engine on my 2012 C250 an interference engine??
No
After the tensioner was activated it’s no longer on TC. Any ideas
I'm having same issue , did you solve your problem ? if so how
@@steve-zx3dy not yet. I was told could place the chain tooth off to correct it but haven't seen another video or posting it group saying that.
Resetting the tensioner is fairly easy, I keep resetting it and trying. Bought a new one once its sorted. Another 100$ is cheaper than doing this job again
What about the chain tensioner???
Also replace chain tensioner
tensioner is not replace?
Replaced
I have 2012 c250 MB. I'm having this done tomorrow. 2 days of labor and 3,666.00. Ouch.
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.
@@MercedesBenzTipsTricks I just called a couple dealerships in my area (southern California) and was told the repair is NOT under warranty. 2013 C250 sedan, 82k miles.
@@951rcguyi just found this out myself it is covered under extended warranty due to lawsuit but what everybody fails to mention is that it’s either 10 years or 120k miles whatever comes first ☹️
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.
What model year is your car?

My oil pump on the 211 M271 was the issue. Check yours please and your cam box. Replace sensors as well.
And yes we re did entire Engine , Top to bottom cos of the damage from the oil pump. A pricy one...
Does anybody replace the bloody chain guides or they just all do this shortcut?
Cause you clearly see the wear on that right guide. And its bad.
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.
how many miles?
110 thousands miles
