I am about to replace the timing chain/tensioner and rails on my 92 400 E in 2 weeks, I have collected all the parts I need.

Unfortunately the new tensioner is not OEM, it was made by a Germany company, the brand is "SWAG". Is this the infamous aftermarket tensioners you had used? If this is the case, I'd better order one from MB.
