Wholesale cost for new timing case cover 601 015 0601 is ~$236 according to 2009-10 price list. Is farting around with used covers really worth it? Dave M., I believe it was, replaced one on a 300D, and I think he reported that the new case (according to EPC revised 3 times now) has improved strengthening in the area of the belt tensioner mount to prevent the problem described below...

My Indy reports that my red '84 190D has fired up and runs fine. This is the one I bought with a "broken timing chain" for $250. It turned out the timing chain cover was broken. I got a $100 replacement that has a loose (mostly stripped) belt tensioner hole. I need to call the yard I bought that from and get a replacement. So it sounds like I may come out okay on this one... 175,xxx mile car. -Curt _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
