I have to believe they changed them, it is on the ticket. Nonetheless if they are an easy change I can do them again myself. I just looked at the MB shop manual. It seems simple but where are they on a 380 engine? I cant see where they are. Di I have to remove anything to get to them?

The tensioner bolts onto the head on the passenger's side "right head". It is located the fender well side of the head in the front. It has a baseplate with two bolts from which protudes a small cylinder.
Watch the book for installation instructions on this item. I understand that it must be pumped up in oil before installation. I think that you must also turn the engine over a few times with the coil wire removed so that the small pump will fill with oil and take up the chain slack. Good luck.
