Hello W204 c250 cdi 2011 worked spot on, and it didn't take very long. Chain noise on the first start up, then all good it's been a week now. Moving on to the next job. Thank you very much for saving me a lot of money

[@Mercedesadventurz]

Good to hear man! Whats the next job?!

[@robertemberton541]

Excellent video. Many thanks

Really helpful video. Thanks!

Great video, Clear and concise. Thank you.

Hi great video and good to see the positive comments. Quick question please. Is it necessary to prime the new tensioner? I suspect the oil pressure will build the tensioner pressure up when started but that first start will mean the tensioner won’t be primed without oil? I see user andrewkerrigan had the noise on first start up. I suspect this means the tensioner isn’t pre primed? Thanks

Hi thanks for the video. After installing the new tensioner, can the engine be restarted immediately without problems?

[@mateuszkwiatkowski3103]

Just did that, took around 2h guys with a help of a friend, some bolts are paint in a… to get to and put them back on, seems like it did the job for me

Czesc, mam problem z grzechotaniem po odpaleniu auta na zimnym silniku. Tylko przy starcie przez sekunde lub dwie slychac grzechot. Pozniej jest ok i nie ma zadnych bledow. Co najgorsze, stalo sie to po wymianie rozrzadu (kola zebate VAICO, lancuch ori, napinacz ori). Widze ze pisza tez o walkach rozrzadu ale nie chce mi sie wierzyc w ta teorie tym bardziej ze przed wymiana bylo ok. Podpowiesz cos?

I'm about to do mine now

How much would costs a labour job for doing this ? If part provided.. thx

[@mygoalcrash8077]

Thanks for your video! How long it will take to change? 1 day?

[@Mercedesadventurz]

No problem, the job shouldnt take more than an hour if you are handy.

[@Hello.Luxury.Limited]

Do you have to put the crank centre ? What if you do this without remove the fan belt and crank not centre ?

[@Ambastard]

Any ideas why to do crank in centre?

[@zedman442]

Thanks. Did you have to prime the tensioner at all?

[@Mercedesadventurz]

No priming.

[@robertemberton541]

I am about to attempt mine. One question please. Do you have to drain any oil first? Thank you.

[@Mercedesadventurz]

No need to, minimal amount of oil will come out of the tensioner. Spray area with brake cleaner after you have installed the new one and ur good

[@robertemberton541]

@@Mercedesadventurz Good news. Thanks again for the very detailed video.

[@garethoswald3392]

@@Mercedesadventurz hi can i ask are you experienced in this om651 chain rattle cold start issue. As yes tensioners fail. But i have a theory on the route cause. That sets this in motion. Could we chat here

[@barjaszraeqat4058]

هل يمكن لي ان ارسل لك فيديو بسبب مشكلة قريبه من ذالك !؟؟

[@ladislavzsitvay8133]

Is it 2012 e350?

[@weeziktest2806]

Do you have a link for the new tensioner?

[@weeziktest2806]

I can only find 2 hole ones, not the new 4 hole.

[@garethoswald3392]

Did the rattle come back eventually or stay away

[@dieschnellekatze]

I also would like to know

[@garethoswald3392]

@@dieschnellekatze do you also have this rattle on a morning cold start. Yes it can be tensioner. But ive got some other theorys on the route cause. That sets this in motion. Infact not just a theory. In my case ive proved by various experiments. My theory is fact. If your interested to hear. Reply here

[@TheFlonke88]

Maybe Vacuumpump can make some scary noises like the chain. I drive a w204 with the om651...what theorys do you have?

[@ZaMasso]

@@garethoswald3392did you figure out what was making noise?

[@Comycboy06]

In this case you don't need to rotate nothing, is not needed.

[@Mercedesadventurz]

Says who

[@mateuszkwiatkowski3103]

Yes you do, otherwise will be hard to put new one in

[@Comycboy06]
