Hey guys I going to look at an e30 that needs a new timing chain tensionner according to the owner. I was just wondering if there are any symptoms to look for to make sure it is just that. Also how difficult are they to replace? Thanks

If the car still runs, you should be okay. But if its not running, dont even try.
Its not a hard job, search

Not that hard to replace but if it's done wrong .... Big disaster.
Rattling noise when the engine is revs...can be a bad chain etc too.Comment

I did it on mine, its a cheap and simple way to possibly save your engine.

The M42 club forum would be a good source to look into. I just did a quick search and found this thread on changing the chain tensioner.....
Good luck :-D

The m44 chain tensioner is an upgrade.what you did to this car is like getting a supermodel naked and willing to do anything you please. now here you are faced with ths once in a lifetime opportunity and then you squander it by making her fuck you in the butt with a 24" strap on. you are a sad, silly little boy.Comment
