The Timing Chain of the Mercedes-Benz E250 keeps the camshaft and crankshaft perfectly synchronized, delivering silky smooth power and rock-solid reliability no matter the rpm. The chain is constructed from wear resistant steel and bathed in engine oil. It meshes with precision matched sprockets, guides and a spring loaded tensioner so that valve timing remains locked within factory specs even after years of spirited driving. The W212 executive sedan turbo owners of the 1.8-liter turbo, which was produced from 2009 to 2013, and the peppier 2.0-liter turbo, which was sold from 2013 to 2016, can fit this component with total peace of mind as it was designed on these Mercedes-Benz E250 powerplants and their 5G-Tronic or 7G-Tronic Plus transmissions. With the help of appropriate timing, the drivetrains hit that sub-seven second sprint while still sipping fuel. In a similar vein, a well-tuned Timing Chain improves performance and efficiency. Safety improvements can be witnessed as accurate cam advance prevents misfires that could interfere with stability systems or emergency shutdowns. In order to thwart natural stretch, the assembly provides several keyways and slotted cam sprockets which allow DIYers to fine tune advance or retard without having to take off the chain, a function not typically found in rival luxury sedans and one which highlights the broader Mercedes-Benz philosophy of combining toughness with driver focused adjustability. According to some owners, an all-gear drive can further replace the link design itself. This particular arrangement removes stretch completely while still using the stock oiling paths and tension specs. It just goes to show how every part from Mercedes has headroom built into them for better upgrades. The Timing Chain is an excellent piece of engineering which offers great longevity and fine adjustment options. It is directly compatible with the E250 turbocharged family. These qualities give drivers a reassuring edge in day to day reliability and in spirited weekend fun. Such qualities are synonymous with the wider Mercedes-Benz.
