@operationoverhaul Жыл бұрын
So, to apply tension with the tensioner you will just rotate the engine over by hand and at about a quarter to a half of rotation the tensioner should release and apply tension on its on. I explained it a little around the 11:30 mark on the video. It is also good to rotate it about 2 to 4 full revolutions after as well just to ensure nothing is binding.

You can look it up by your vin number to see which engine you have as there are two different variants of this engine they use. You can call a Mercedes dealership and give it to them and they can let you know which one you have. And as far as interference engine question goes, an interference engine means that if the timing chain or timing belt snaps/breaks then the pistons will hit the valves and causing damage where a non-interference engine will not contact the valves. If you have any other questions just ask and I will be happy to help out.

These have a breather hose check valve rather than a pcv valve. The part number is 2710180329. Here is a link to it on FCP euro: www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-breather-hose-check-valve-febi-2710180329

Most people I have seen use a kit from www.addw1.com/ and here is a link to a forum of someone who shows pictures and kind of goes over it as it would be hard to type out everything you need to do. Here is the link: www.benzworld.org/threads/oil-catch-can-for-c250-1-8-turbo.3062268/

They told me I needed a new engine once my timing chain had broke

So, I called the dealership three dealerships to verify if it was an interference engine or not and 2 said yes while one said no. So I would say yes to you possibly needing another engine.

I could do it but the car would have to be towed or driven to me. I'm about an hour to hour and a half from columbia.
