there's no need to change the crankshaft gear too? doesn't it get damaged by the loose chain? thank you very much

[@AlexAndreiZAR]

@GustavoVegliaVicO.M. mine was fine. It wasn't damaged. If you consider that yours is damaged, then change it.

@@AlexAndreiZAR thanks mate. I'll disassembly and inspect

In what intervals or any signs when and what to change beside timing chain issue in m271? Im lookin to buy a w204 c250 cgi

[@AlexAndreiZAR]

@gopropit617 hi! First change at 150.000 to max 200.000. Then every 100.000 km the timing kit needs changing. If you plan to buy a car with m271 engine ask seller to not start the car. You must hear the car at cold start. Listen for chain rattle. If there is no chain rattle then engine is OK. Change oil every 10.000 km or less.

Hello! To remove the timing cover is necessary to remove the oil pan? The oil pan have gasket or just silicon? Any info. Will be a great help for me!

[@AlexAndreiZAR]

Yes... you must remove the oil pan in order to remove the timing cover. On the top you have the head gasket and in between the timing cover and engine are 2 orings and gasket maker. Watch all the 12 parts for this timing kit replacement. Thanks

Hi one question maybe is for part 3 not that once, i apologize 😅 but why you put down the air filter fuel injector and the air compressor?

[@AlexAndreiZAR]

@mentesanaincorporesano watch all the parts, and you will understand. The front timing cover needs to be removed. The front timing cover supports the kompressor. To remove the kompressor, everything above it needs to be removed.

​​@@AlexAndreiZAR true, I watch all the 10 parts, I have some difficulty to unscrew the power steering pump , how you do it?? You don't film it 😢

[@AlexAndreiZAR]

@mentesanaincorporesano in video part 3 at 3:10 I talk about how to remove the power steering pump, actually I just detach it from the engine and leave it there hanging. You don't really need to remove the alternator but I think it helps, I can't really remember. Anyways using an E10 or an E12 deep socket or normal socket (can't really remember the size) with an extension you can unscrew the 3 bolts. For the 2 bottom bolts you have to feel them with your fingers and guide the socket on them. First unscrew the bottom bolts and then unscrew the top bolt. The bottom bolts are easy to access. The top bolt is also easy to access but only through a finger tight channel from the right side of the car towards the left side of the car.

9:55 salut, si nu se poate pune lantul sau scoate, daca e direct nituit?

[@AlexAndreiZAR]

Nu ai cum sa treci lanțul nituit prin partea de jos, adică la pinionul arborelui cotit.
