Mercedes Benz 2.1 2010 CDi - Timing chain problem #

Posted by John Moutrey on June 17, 2013, 3:22 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2010
Engine Size and Code *: 2.1

Hi guys got a C200cdi with horrendous timing chain knock, just wondered if anyone has done one of these new style engines OM651.913 where chain is on rear of engine or shall I ship to dealers to be sorted?

Looks like injectors and rocker box to be removed then not sure about replacing guides etc, or is there a problem with hydraulic tensioners ?? 135,000 miles

Any advise much appreciated

John

Hi John, this is a crap engine ship it to the dealers i have had 2 of these explode and throw a rod through the side when being delivered to us brand new from the dealers, there is an issue with the valve gear/hydraulic tappets etc

timing chain is at the back if you are going to attempt it, it's not very nice to strip down

Good luck
