Thanks for the video! Once you return it back to its original position, do you just install it? How does one ensure the tensioner is properly installed? I screwed my tensioner back into its bracket but don’t know if there is anything else that should be done. Have searched everywhere for proper installation instructions but no luck

hi All you have to do is tighten the tension and once that is tight then you need to turn the engine anti clockwise approximately 90 degrees at the crankshaft pulley bolt to activate the tension. If you listen carefully you will hear the tension plunger move forward. The plunger part must move forward and touch the tensioner rail so that there is always tension on the rail pushing the chain. This is the most important part because most people do not check if the actual plunger came out. You can read comments of mine to other people that will probably help as well.

I found if you move the ring back farther than you had it, and then push in, it locks in place on the first try.

I am just pleased that people know the procedure and not spend money on purchasing a new tensioner. The rest is up to them how they go about doing it and their level of mechanical experience. Regards

if a timing chain already stretched a reset or a new tensioner helps at all?
@iqbalaniff1650

No it will not It is best you change the timing chain,tensioner,guides and gears all together also an oil change with filter is essential. From my experience I have discovered that 5W40 fully synthetic engine oil works best on these engines. Hope this helps

thanks for the reply. So reuse a reset tensioner makes no sense then, cause it was already fully extended and the chain still loose

It always best to replace all the timing chain components when doing a vehicle with high mileage however if you want to save money and do a repair on a budget then inspect and replace just the parts that needs replacing but the timing chain must always be replaced.

@@iqbalaniff1650 Hi Iqbal, I have read your reply to Sergey , and have taken note of your advice. My engine is a W201 1987, I replaced the chain tensioner today, and discovered that it of a different design to the one in your video. It is simpler to set it back to zero position. I have the engine stripped down, although it is still in the car. The cylinder head is removed, and the pistons out of the block. Tomorrow I am going to feed new timing chain through the guides.

Hi Sergey That is correct and an important step is to release the tensioner - you must turn the engine 90 degrees anti clockwise and then back to TDC (if you listen carefully you will hear the tensioner release thereafter turn the engine 3 full turns clockwise and make sure your timing marks are aligned. Just a word of caution please do not take the O/T (TDC )mark on the crank pulley to be correct. I have had issues with the damper pulley moving on the rubber mounting. Remove the number one spark plug and put a long screwdriver and double check if the crank pulley damper is correct. Good luck.
