Premium OEM Parts Mercedes-Benz M271 M274 M276 M277 Engine Timing Balance Shaft Chain Guide 2710300963 For W205 W213 W213 W166 W222

1.Product Overview

Premium OEM Engine Timing Balance Shaft Chain Guide (PN: 2710300963)
A high-precision replacement component that ensures optimal synchronization between the balance shaft and crankshaft, maintaining engine smoothness and preventing catastrophic timing failure in Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

2.Vehicle Compatibility Table

Note: Always verify compatibility using VIN or consult technical documentation.

3.Product Function and Importance

Core Functions

• Used to secure and guide the timing chain, ensuring synchronized operation between the balance shaft and the engine crankshaft, reducing vibration and improving engine smoothness.

• Prevents chain slack, tooth skipping, or wear, avoiding severe engine damage (e.g., valve-to-piston collision) due to timing errors.

Key Features

• Material: High-strength engineering plastic or composite (e.g., nylon + fiberglass), resistant to high temperatures and wear.

• Design: Precision-molded for 100% compatibility with OEM parts, ensuring proper fitment and tolerance alignment.

Durability: Fatigue-tested to withstand high engine speeds and long-term operating conditions.

4.Common Failure Symptoms (When Replacement is Needed)

• Engine abnormal noise (metallic friction or chain slapping sounds)

• Fault codes indicating timing system issues (e.g. P0016/P0017)

• Plastic debris found in engine oil (indicating chain guide wear/detachment)

5.Installation Recommendations

• Must be performed by professional technicians

• Requires simultaneous inspection of related components including:

  • Timing chain

  • Tensioner

  • Balance shaft bearings

• Recommended to use manufacturer-specified engine oil during replacement to prevent lubrication-related secondary damage
