230SL Chain Tensioner Part Number

[mistertj]

Does anyone have a good part number for the chain tensioner pad for a 230SL? The part numbers I have don't match anything. Thank you.

PN for 113042, M127.981 is A 180 050 07 16. NLA at MB the system says, but if you ask Classic Center, maybe it is possible to order. It was ca $200.

I am sure other Members will have options where to source it. I was just able to find LEMFÖRDER 17904 01.

Maybe it'll be cheaper if I replace the timing chain. The plate still has surface left, it's just the two ridges that are worn off.

The guide rail and the chain should never touch

Yes, most likely a good idea to change your timing chain
