I have to say, you know how to help yourself even if you dont have the correct tools for the job! I found this video because my 2004 C180 Kompressor needs a new timing chain. Keep up the good work man!
very professional, your videos are extremely helpful and informative i just wanted to show you a little support and hope everyone else does the same because you honestly deserve every dollar and i’d really like to see this channel thriving and lasting a long while, thanks for helping us for getting more experience in all mechanic works.
I rarely watch these videos from start to finish but this was brilliant. You have a new subscriber and I look forward to watching future videos. The compression test at the end was great. I actually paused the video to read some comments and i noticed you mentioned it. Thanks bro.

I love the way you work everything is on place very neat very presice even the vihecle is covered you show thumb up i give you thumbs up PS does this work on a c180 kompressor as well is it the same routine
Very nice job brother! I LOVE to watch you work! I have a friend with a 2004 C230K Benz that needs this done and my only worry is that maybe he has bent valves. Is there easy way to tell if valves bent or not without first changing everything and then doing your 'Easy' Compression test??
yes, there is.... on the top off the camshafts there is the camshafts holder , that big plate, when taking off the camshafts holder all valves will be closed all the way, then doing the easy engine Compression test mean blocking the spark plug housing with a plastic cup secured by wire to the engine and safety glasses must be worn, turning the engine slowly and when the plastic cup fly that mean the valves are not bent. :) good luck chain should be off with the camshafts to do this test if timing out , other way if the engine timing is right can do the easy Compression test without taking off the Camshafts plate.
Boa Noite, toppp de mais seu video amigo, me ajudou muito, mecanica de uma forma simples mas muito pratica e confiavel, Uma duvida? Esse motor nao atropela valvulas quando gira so o virabrequim com o comando travado na hora da troca da corrente? Parabéns pelo Video, Abraços
to replace the timing chain guide that on the right side of the engine , need to take off the engine chain cover, but this guide does not get damaged easy as the other guides, it is very strong. if it is damaged it should be replaced by taking off the chain caver and replace it with new chain guide. have a nice day.
if the engine for W212 or W204 like E250 or ... Turbo it is same but the chain gear and the engine parts and the tool to do the job some of them are different, engine has more parts. it is same & Different. soon i get job for this engine i will make a video from start to finish for the engine timing chain, & will be Very Clear, Enshaa Allah
best M271 timing chain replacement with only the camshalft holder as special tool which is cheap besides which m271 version is more reliable the 1.6 kompressor found on the w204 which is fact the car you woked on on this video or the 1.8 turbo thankss
@@H1111H I will soon have to do this job on my w203 c180k the chain has slack and the intake cam is off by 1-2 teeth, hope it goes as smooth as this did 😅
@@H1111H just want to update you i have managed to change the chain no problem, this video helped me alot! hardest part was taking the alternator off and getting access to tensioner
Maybe you could provide some insight for me. I'm replacing the chain also on my m271. My timing marks on my cams do not line up and I've seen the chain jump when turning the crank by hand. I have 2 special MB tools that locks the cams in place and chain crimping tool. The goal is to replace the chain and tensioner. How can I get my cams lined up correctly if the chain has visible jumped already? I'm a little bit pissed TDC. Could I remove the tensioner and create slack on the chain and turn everything counterclockwise or clockwise so I can line everything up?
Hello ,Try to read this Video comments and you will Find the answer for your question, someone asked me the same question and i did answer with big Good Comment. if you have an other question for this timing chain setup that i am doing in this video, you can ask me the question , You are Welcome. have a Nice Day.
Salut je suis francais super vidéo merci , tu a fait ce changement pour un défaut alumage ? ,Hi, I'm French, great video, thank you, did you make this change for an ignition fault?
Salut, je changeais la chaîne de distribution avec les engrenages, car la chaîne était étirée et les engrenages étaient endommagés et ils faisaient beaucoup de bruit. merci d'avoir regardé et bonne journée Hi, i was changing the timing chain with the gears, because the chain was stretched and the gears where damaged and they where making big noise. thanks For Watching and have a nice Day.
Thanks for the video. How can you turn the crankshaft without removing the camshaft? The pistons were supposed to hit the valves, right? What was the metal bracket you installed on top of the camshafts?
Thanks for watching, for this engine W203 and the engine W212 only!!! , I put the engine timing Tool on the cams and then , I do turn the engine slowly with very careful 😀 and the Pistons will not touch the valves. I did this way for more then 70 engine timing chain setup and no Pistons touched any valve, this is only for W203 and W212 Engines , other engines will touch for sure!!!! .
Hi, thank you for your Nice Comment, the customer did bring the engine timing kit with the gears, i just did install them for this engine ,they were after market car spare parts put they work just fine, put always the original are the best 👌, SUBSCRIBE to my channel to watch more videos like this ❤️. Thanks
i never had the valves hit the pistons when turning the engine !! with the timing tool is set on the cams !!! just for this Engines W203 & W212 other engines pistons & Valves May Hit each other. have a nice day.
HI, awesome video sir, question......what is that red plug you are using to test compression? is it homemade? Id like to make one myself if it is... Thanks again for a great video
Top demais amigo , me ajudou bastante pois achei que as polias estavam invertidas pq Polia com letra A fica lado do escapamento e a com letra E fica lado admissão por isso quase me enganei colocando a com letra A no lado da admissão e a com letra E no lado do Escapamento como é na maioria dos carros brasileiros .
Olá e bom dia, a engrenagem E é para a árvore de cames de admissão e a engrenagem A é para a árvore de cames de escape, boa sorte. Hi and Good Morning , the E Gear is for intake camshaft , and the A Gear is for the Exhaust camshaft, Good Luck.
70% of times, i do turn the engine & the valves does not touch the pistons in this engine model , but to prevent valve from touching the pistons , i do take of the camshafts holder that on the top of the camshafts with the camshafts. and in that time i can do easy engine compression test for the valves to make sure that they are not damaged, watch the video that i made. have a nice day. remember safety first .
Hi, Good Day, the way i do connecting the two side of the chain together, i do this way very long time ago more then 25 years and never fail. when the chain connected good and right and making sure it is connected in the right way and locked Well on the two sides and moving well, i thing it will be safe and strong, if the mechanic who doing this job knows what he is doing. Thank you Very Much For Your Nice Comment.
Great ,best on TH-cam, I have a question about to change gears and chain, what step do I take if my chain has slipped and the timing mark on right gear not lining up.
Hello Mr. Ron, First You Need To make sure that there is no valves damaged, you need to remove the aluminum plate that holding the cans in place, so all valves will close and after that you need to wear Safety glasses and hold up the engine chain by metal circle bar and then turn the engine by hand with very careful while blocking the spark plug housing by a plastic cup and turn the engine slowly, if the cup fly that mean the valves are good on the cylinder you testing for safety the cup should be Secured by Secure wire to the engine and make sure that you Wearing safety glasses. you can watch my video on my channel to see how i do this test for the engine Valves. Have a Nice Day.
@@H1111H Thank you for your reply, I have tested and cup flys off on each cylinder ok ., but not sure how to set the alignment of right-hand timing gear to top mark, do I turn it? the old gear the teeth were worn and the chain must have slipped and put out the timing.
First the Gears and chain with the guides must be changed, to turn the exhaust cam, put the old gear on the cam, with the crankshaft at O/T cylinder one is up, start to turn the cam using Big screwdriver on the teeth of the gear with the screwdriver on the side of the cylinder head, turn until you can put the timing tool on the cams, remember you have to be very careful, safety first always remember that. if you feel the valves touching the piston turn the crankshaft a little bit. have a nice day.
@@H1111H Thank you for this info, I have just been able to get back working my merc, C180K, I have noticed that the timing mark on the crankshaft is way out of top dead centre on cylinder one, could the fly wheel slip with the timing marks ? cylinder one is top dead centre on the compression stroke and timing 0| is almost at 6 o'clock.
Sometimes the engine harmonic balancer is out of right timing because it has rubber between the Pulley and the balancer, if piston 1 is up the O/T is at 5 or 10 or more that mean harmonic balancer is faulty and need to be changed to get the right timing marks for the engine.
How is it possible that you can turn the crankshaft for getting the new chain in without touching the valves? Camshafts arent turning and some valves must be open
Hi, For this Engine only , When the Timing Tool is Sitting on the cams and locked the Cams in the timing setup Position, i do turn the crankshaft to pull out the old chain and install the new chain with very careful and i never had valves touched the pistons, i do this way just for these engines type Mercedes W203, W212 , for other engines Pistons & Valves they way touch each other. Thanks for Watching. Have a Nice Day.
Hello Mr. Ahmad, When working to Setup the engine timing it is OK to turn the Engine in the opposite direction but should ! Stop ! when feeling the pistons are touching the valves !! but after the engine timing is set correctly, it will be a very very very bad idea to turn the engine in the opposite direction, because 90% the chain will jump and the engine timing will be wrong and can damage the valves very easily. Thank you Very Much Mr. Ahmad for your Nice comment. have a Nice Day.
Hello Mr. Caz , this is why i like this engine, when setting up the timing chain for this engine and lock the timing chain with the timing tool on the cams, i noticed that the valves will not touch the pistons, just for this engine !!!! but Sometime the valves will touch the pistons, to make sure its not touching, must feel when turning the engine to put the new Timing chain, if i feel that the pistons are touching the valves, i Stop turning the crankshaft to don't make damage for the Valves, i did more then 50 times job like this and never pistons touched the valves when !!! the timing tool set on the cams !!! but different engines, Maybe 80% or more pistons will touch the valves when turning the engine like this. for this engine if the engine running and the timing chain get damaged, 90% valves will not get damaged, if the engine stop after chain Get Damaged and no one did try to start the engine after the chain damaged. that why i like this engine, it has good space between the pistons and the Valves just when the timing tool is fitted on the cams, otherwise the pistons and the valves will hit each other.. Thanks For watching, and Have a Nice day. Mr. Caz.
This two wheels are broken on my car while driving other day in morning car wouldn't start driving, what I wanted to ask if the valves are also bent or just this🤔, thank you
Hi, if you wanna make sure that the Valves are bent or not, there is an easy way that i do, to do this test, i like to tell you that 90% of this problem with the timing chain got no bent valves, watch this video again, !! just now i put at the end screen of this video, a video about how i do test for the valves to know if bent or not, go to the end screen, top right video and watch it , if you need to ask question again you are welcome. have a nice day , Remember Safety First. Subscribe to my Channel if you did not yet, to watch more videos like this. Thanks.
hi, if the engine timing chain was off , what i do is, i do not set the timing with the old chain again because it is stretched and will jump, first thing i do i remove the two camshaft to let all the valves close and then i do my easy way to test the engine compression to see if there is damaged valves, 90% the valve will not be damaged in this nice engine, if all valves are not damaged i do fit new timing chain kit if there is damage the cylinder head should be removed and repaired, you car watch my video how to do easy compression test without tools that is my way to test, remember safety first. good night .
Quick question mate, can an exhaust cam phaser / timing gear be so bad the engine can't start? Mine turns over with good compression but I get a code P0366 I tried a new exhaust cam sensor but still have P0366 and engine cranking but no start. I'm wondering if it's worth buying a timing kit and the locking tool and replacing the timing gears. Cheers!
Hello Mate. Make Sure Safety First. Try to put long Phillips Screwdriver in the Spark plug housing cylinder 1 and turn the engine by hand to get the piston number 1 up for sure, then look to the crankshaft harmonic balancer and make sure with the piston 1 up the OIT mark that on the balancer is on the engine make , if not that mean the rubber of the balancer is faulty and turned and will give wrong timing mark. if it is on the right mark. then check the cams marks make sure the marks of the cams gears are set with the mark that on the cams holder's marks or with the timing tool on. if the engine timing chain is right , check the engine compression . try to watch my video on my channel that says how to do engine compression test without tools and see how i do my way to check the engine compression test, !!! Remember Safety First , Safety Classes Must Be Worn. Good Luck and Stay Safe.
@@H1111H Thanks for the detailed answer! I took off the cam cover and the teeth on both timing gears are worn and the chain is slack, so I'll follow your guide and replace the timing gears and chain. Thanks for wish of good luck!
hi, if invert the chain gears E to the A and A to the E The Engine Timing will Never bi Right and the engine will not operate good as Should be and sometime can damage the valves too,Thanks for Watching New Helpful Videos Coming soon, Have a nice Day.
Hey Hachem, need your help one more time, the engine light on my panel is on, them I scan and find out the problem: P0010 OBDII: Camshaft position (CMP) actuator, intake/ left/front, bank 1 - circuit malfunction What cloud be the problem? Any suggestion? Thank you my friend!!🙏🏻
Good Morning, for this engine fault code , i think maybe the big bolt that Holden the Gear under the intake actuator, that has 3 small bolt. has the open and close piston is Stuck because tightened too much , watch the video again and see how they pull in by them self, or timing wrong, or camshaft sensor, sometime camshaft is not good. maybe check the actuator for the intake cam. Good Luck.
I have a m271 that jumped timing mercedes tech said it had bent valves.... but he did not line up the marks on the cams correctly or use the tool you used to hold the cams.... you think it has bent valves even though the chain is not broken
Thanks For Watching. when i do job like this, i like to set the timing tool on the cams and let the chain turn free on the top of the gears, my way to check and to know if there any damaged valves , i can know for super sure if the valve bents or not , watch my videos on my channel and see how i do this engine compression test. Have a nice Day. 85% of the times, those engines can Survive from bent valves. best Engines.

First the Gears and chain with the guides must be changed, to turn the exhaust cam, put the old gear on the cam, with the crankshaft at O/T cylinder one is up, start to turn the cam using Big screwdriver on the teeth of the gear with the screwdriver on the side of the cylinder head, turn until you can put the timing tool on the cams, remember you have to be very careful, safety first always remember that. if you feel the valves touching the piston turn the crankshaft a little bit. have a nice day.
@@H1111H Thank you for this info, I have just been able to get back working my merc, C180K, I have noticed that the timing mark on the crankshaft is way out of top dead centre on cylinder one, could the fly wheel slip with the timing marks ? cylinder one is top dead centre on the compression stroke and timing 0| is almost at 6 o'clock.
Sometimes the engine harmonic balancer is out of right timing because it has rubber between the Pulley and the balancer, if piston 1 is up the O/T is at 5 or 10 or more that mean harmonic balancer is faulty and need to be changed to get the right timing marks for the engine.
How is it possible that you can turn the crankshaft for getting the new chain in without touching the valves? Camshafts arent turning and some valves must be open
Hi, For this Engine only , When the Timing Tool is Sitting on the cams and locked the Cams in the timing setup Position, i do turn the crankshaft to pull out the old chain and install the new chain with very careful and i never had valves touched the pistons, i do this way just for these engines type Mercedes W203, W212 , for other engines Pistons & Valves they way touch each other. Thanks for Watching. Have a Nice Day.
nice work . Is there any harm in moving the engine in the opposite direction?
Hello Mr. Ahmad, When working to Setup the engine timing it is OK to turn the Engine in the opposite direction but should ! Stop ! when feeling the pistons are touching the valves !! but after the engine timing is set correctly, it will be a very very very bad idea to turn the engine in the opposite direction, because 90% the chain will jump and the engine timing will be wrong and can damage the valves very easily. Thank you Very Much Mr. Ahmad for your Nice comment. have a Nice Day.
@@H1111H many thanks for reply . I was in problem between engine sealer and the mechanic . The engine valves is distroied . Thank you a lot
@@H1111H how the pistons didnt hit valves when you turned from the crank when installing new chain? because camshaft and valves were still.
Hello Mr. Caz , this is why i like this engine, when setting up the timing chain for this engine and lock the timing chain with the timing tool on the cams, i noticed that the valves will not touch the pistons, just for this engine !!!! but Sometime the valves will touch the pistons, to make sure its not touching, must feel when turning the engine to put the new Timing chain, if i feel that the pistons are touching the valves, i Stop turning the crankshaft to don't make damage for the Valves, i did more then 50 times job like this and never pistons touched the valves when !!! the timing tool set on the cams !!! but different engines, Maybe 80% or more pistons will touch the valves when turning the engine like this. for this engine if the engine running and the timing chain get damaged, 90% valves will not get damaged, if the engine stop after chain Get Damaged and no one did try to start the engine after the chain damaged. that why i like this engine, it has good space between the pistons and the Valves just when the timing tool is fitted on the cams, otherwise the pistons and the valves will hit each other.. Thanks For watching, and Have a Nice day.
Mr. Caz.
Which Screw are you using für the slide rail of the chain
Watch the video again. 🤔
This two wheels are broken on my car while driving other day in morning car wouldn't start driving, what I wanted to ask if the valves are also bent or just this🤔, thank you
Hi, if you wanna make sure that the Valves are bent or not, there is an easy way that i do, to do this test, i like to tell you that 90% of this problem with the timing chain got no bent valves,
watch this video again, !! just now i put at the end screen of this video, a video about how i do test for the valves to know if bent or not, go to the end screen, top right video and watch it , if you need to ask question again you are welcome. have a nice day , Remember Safety First.
Subscribe to my Channel if you did not yet, to watch more videos like this. Thanks.
What do you do when the cam timing is off before removing chain and gears? How do you align timing again?
hi, if the engine timing chain was off , what i do is, i do not set the timing with the old chain again because it is stretched and will jump, first thing i do i remove the two camshaft to let all the valves close and then i do my easy way to test the engine compression to see if there is damaged valves, 90% the valve will not be damaged in this nice engine, if all valves are not damaged i do fit new timing chain kit if there is damage the cylinder head should be removed and repaired,
you car watch my video how to do easy compression test without tools that is my way to test, remember safety first. good night .
@@H1111H Thank you for explaining, much appreciated.
Quick question mate, can an exhaust cam phaser / timing gear be so bad the engine can't start? Mine turns over with good compression but I get a code P0366 I tried a new exhaust cam sensor but still have P0366 and engine cranking but no start. I'm wondering if it's worth buying a timing kit and the locking tool and replacing the timing gears. Cheers!
Hello Mate. Make Sure Safety First. Try to put long Phillips Screwdriver in the Spark plug housing cylinder 1 and turn the engine by hand to get the piston number 1 up for sure, then look to the crankshaft harmonic balancer and make sure with the piston 1 up the OIT mark that on the balancer is on the engine make , if not that mean the rubber of the balancer is faulty and turned and will give wrong timing mark. if it is on the right mark. then check the cams marks make sure the marks of the cams gears are set with the mark that on the cams holder's marks or with the timing tool on. if the engine timing chain is right , check the engine compression . try to watch my video on my channel that says how to do engine compression test without tools and see how i do my way to check the engine compression test, !!! Remember Safety First , Safety Classes Must Be Worn. Good Luck and Stay Safe.
@@H1111H Thanks for the detailed answer! I took off the cam cover and the teeth on both timing gears are worn and the chain is slack, so I'll follow your guide and replace the timing gears and chain. Thanks for wish of good luck!
@@H1111H Quick update! Thanks for the tips! Car is fixed! New timing gears and chain - sorted! Running like a champ
Doesn’t hit the pistons the valves if you turn it by hand without moving the valves???😮
Watch the video again. 🤔 and read its comments and the answers.
One question, what happens if I invert te valve gears ? If I put E in place of A and A in place of E?
hi, if invert the chain gears E to the A and A to the E The Engine Timing will Never bi Right and the engine will not operate good as Should be and sometime can damage the valves too,Thanks for Watching New Helpful Videos Coming soon, Have a nice Day.
@@H1111H you are the best! Keep the good work! 🙏🏻
during the whole video, kinda wondering where can i get that flash lamp? haha
Hey Hachem, need your help one more time, the engine light on my panel is on, them I scan and find out the problem:
P0010 OBDII: Camshaft position (CMP) actuator, intake/
left/front, bank 1 - circuit malfunction
What cloud be the problem? Any suggestion? Thank you my friend!!🙏🏻
Good Morning, for this engine fault code , i think maybe the big bolt that Holden the Gear under the intake actuator, that has 3 small bolt. has the open and close piston is Stuck because tightened too much , watch the video again and see how they pull in by them self, or timing wrong, or camshaft sensor, sometime camshaft is not good. maybe check the actuator for the intake cam. Good Luck.
❤🎉😊
Thanks for your Nice Comment 👍
Hi, what brand vvt gears have you used? Any problems with those? Thanks!
Hi, for this engine, I was using after market gears ⚙️, ⚙️, they are good if they are good brand .
How different is the setup on the M274?
it is different engine.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Me Very happy , you liked my video Thanks Klaus
what is the number of the screw that you remove the chain tensioner?
17mm or 19 mm long socket
I have a m271 that jumped timing mercedes tech said it had bent valves.... but he did not line up the marks on the cams correctly or use the tool you used to hold the cams.... you think it has bent valves even though the chain is not broken
Thanks For Watching. when i do job like this, i like to set the timing tool on the cams and let the chain turn free on the top of the gears, my way to check and to know if there any damaged valves , i can know for super sure if the valve bents or not , watch my videos on my channel and see how i do this engine compression test. Have a nice Day. 85% of the times, those engines can Survive from bent valves. best Engines.
@@H1111H OK thank you very much
