M113 G500 timing chain
have any owners of G500's had any experience with replacing timing belts? IE at what mileage was it necessary and what were the symptoms ? Thanks
It is generally accepted within the Mercedes Benz fraternity that timing chains are checked and replaced as necessary at every 100,000 miles. Seeing years within the Mercedes Benz service field, this is very rarely done. Owners or Diesel engines are more particular about this issue than Petrol heads.
It is good practice to have the timing chain checked for stretching, the reason for renewal if needed.
I think at certain points of the forum timing belt is mentioned, Mercedes Benz don't do Timing belts that I am aware of.
O.K. Boys let in your feed back to say I am wrong - I am ready for you!
I've never heard of anyone replacing the chain. people have clocked up 400k miles with these engines.
