I have a bit of a rattle in my Alpina 3.3 M52 (basically a 3.3 S52 engine) and I wanted to replace the chain tensioner before I do the vanos. I ordered an S50 one (left hand side in the pic) - am I correct in assuming it will not fit?
I think I already have a hydraulic tensioner, but the movement feels "crunchy" and doesn't move smoothly. Am guessing it's likely that it's the original item on around 110K miles, so this being a wear item at this stage sounds about right?
So - what is the right part number for the M52/S52 hydraulic tensioner? Have been battling to find one that is confirmed to be hydraulic vs the spring.
Cheers,
Gus
