1. Vehicle Compatibility List

Applicable Models

Note:

   For precise compatibility, verify using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or Mercedes-Benz ETK (Electronic Parts Catalog).

2. Function & Purpose

• The timing gear is a critical component of the engine’s timing system, ensuring precise synchronization between the camshaft and crankshaft to maintain proper valve timing and piston movement.

• Genuine Mercedes-Benz timing gears guarantee optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced wear.

3. Material & Manufacturing

• Made from high-strength alloy steel or hardened steel for durability and heat resistance.

• Precision-engineered gear teeth for smooth engagement, minimizing noise and vibration.

• Some versions may feature dampening designs to reduce stress on the timing chain/belt.

4. Replacement Recommendations

• Common Failure Symptoms:

  • Engine noise (e.g., rattling from the timing area).

  • Ignition timing issues, leading to power loss or check engine light.

  • Timing chain slack or jumping (caused by worn gears).

• Recommended Replacement Interval:

  • Typically replaced with the timing chain/belt (every 80,000–150,000 km, refer to Mercedes-Benz service manual).

5. Installation Notes

• Requires specialized tools (e.g., camshaft locking tools) to align timing marks correctly.

• Inspect or replace timing chain, tensioner, and guides simultaneously to prevent secondary failures.

• Must be installed by a professional—incorrect installation may cause severe engine damage.
