To replace the timing chain on a Mercedes C-Class, it is advisable to completely remove the engine from its compartment. Once the engine is out, detach the front plastic cover of the engine block to access the bolts securing the tensioner.

Reduce the tension on the chain, allowing you to remove it from the corresponding sprockets. This way, you can install the new chain, cover everything with the panels, and ensure that everything functions correctly.
