Mercedes-Benz Timing Chain & Tensioner Kit

Protect Your MB Engine — Replace the Timing Chain Before It Fails

Unlike most other brands, Mercedes-Benz uses timing chains instead of belts — but they still wear out, especially on high-mileage vehicles. A stretched or jumped timing chain causes rough running, fault codes, and in severe cases, catastrophic engine damage.

Kit Includes:

• Timing chain (primary & secondary where applicable)
• Chain tensioner & tensioner gasket
• Timing chain guides (upper & lower)
• Camshaft & crankshaft sprockets
• Timing cover gasket set

Compatible W Series & Engine Families:

W204 — C-Class

• C200 CGI, C250 CGI — M271 engine
• C220 CDI, C250 CDI — OM651 engine

W212 — E-Class

• E200, E250 — M271, M274 engine
• E220 CDI, E250 CDI — OM651 engine

W176 — A-Class

• A200, A250 — M270, M133 engine

W166 — ML/GLE

Timing chain replacement is recommended from 120,000 km on most MB engines. Warning signs include a rattling noise on cold start, rough idle, or a P0016/P0017 fault code. Don’t ignore these — act before the chain jumps.

Note: Please confirm your chassis code (W-series) and engine code before ordering.
