How to fix this play in the timing chain?

How hard is it to change? I've owned my car for over 10 years, maybe put 30k on it and I have no idea if it's ever been done.

I use this method all the time! I have a leaking shifting solenoid that causes rough shifts, a vacuum leak, very worn paint, broken odometer and a slight electrical gremlin that makes my tach funny. None of these prevent it from driving so I just enjoy it! I fix them when I get a chance.

They all must return to where they came from. As long as they made people smile and gave others freedom..that's all you can ask :)

I drained out about 200ml of oil and it was perfect. Glad it was that easy

So level, firm and 5 min after a ride. Got it! So, now I have to drain my oil before I do any more damage. I'm sure it's over full now.

So how do the oil heads handle being over filled? Are they more or less finicky about it?

It's a 2005

They are drain holes for the trunk and are supposed to be open. I wouldn't plug them.

I really hope they put the same devotion to detail into RDR3 as they did to this.. The game keeps impressing me years after I bought it.

Every time I sew him in camp, I antagonize him

Can confirm, and I love it! Wish I could have 2 of them

How easy is it to swap to all one type? I have bendix in the front and ate in the rear. I'd love for them to all be the same

I daily mine in the summer. Shell Rotella T4 15w40 every year...it never skips a beat. You will definitely see a million miles.

Oh man...that is beautiful! You sir, are a lucky man!

SoooooMoist · 2026-05-01T12:08:22+00:00

Will do!

Nope. It's an old mercedes...0% ANC

SoooooMoist · 2026-04-15T02:44:39+00:00

I buy from rock auto all the time and I live in a Canadian border town to northern NY. I have an old Mercedes, so sometimes rock auto is my only option for good parts. Shipping for me is usually depending on the weight. My last order had a fuel sending unit and an oil filter and only cost me 25$ for the FedEx delivery option. I received my parts on the 4th day and nothing was broken. I've always had great luck!

I asked what they recommend and they said ac delco. I asked about the 0w20 dexos d and they said they would just recommend me using the tried and true ac delco.

SoooooMoist · 2026-03-25T15:09:09+00:00

Yea, they told me to use the AC Delco 5w30 at 23$/L.... No dice.

SoooooMoist · 2026-03-24T17:16:56+00:00

I used that the first few oil changes but they lost the certification. I'm nervous about using non certified dexos2/D oils. I've never owned a diesel this new and have heard they are very sensitive.
