W204 2008 Mercedes C200 Kompressor | Timing Chain and Camshaft Sprocket replacement | 2024 | How To

These Mercedes-Benz C200 Kompressor W204 are now around 15 year old cars and most of them are having issues with their timing chains after crossing the 200,000 km mark. The timing chain stretches over time and becomes a bit loose and damages the teeth on camshaft sprockets due to slippage. Slippage also means that the timing of the engine is out of sync and this can lead to severe damage to the engine.

In this video, I show you how to easily do some preventive maintanence on your beloved Mercedes and if you are in Australia, it will cost less than $600 provided you have general automotive tools in your garage already!
