Wow, this is way pricier than expected. The Mercedes ASRA time estimator system says something like 1.8 hours for an OM603, even at ~$120/hr at the dealer + what $300 for the chain...it doesn't seem to add up.

Did you add in the time for replacing the tensioner and guides?

Believe the tensioner has to come out (i.e. it's included). 1.7 hrs may even include pulling the radiator for the loooong 603. Dealer guys must be good, huh?
