Q&A
Q1: Does this kit stop the cold start rattle?
Yes, when rattle is caused by chain stretch or worn guides. Ensure the correct tensioner and precise timing setup.
Q2: Do I need special tools?
Yes, cam and crank locking tools and a torque-angle gauge are required to set timing accurately.
Q3: Can I reuse the crankshaft bolt?
Not advised, it is typically torque-to-yield. Replace with new where specified.
Q4: Will this fit a Kompressor M271?
No, Kompressor and CGI use different parts. Match by VIN and engine code M271 CGI.

Condition: New aftermarket replacement part. Not an original Mercedes-Benz part; brand and model names are used only to show fitment.
