How to replace timing-chain (Guide) on 1985 Mercedes 190E 2.3, 4 Cylinder

Hey guys,

I'am stuck on a Mercedes Benz 190E, 1985,
Gasoline-Engine,
4 Clinder
2300 ccm,
VIN:#-No>: WDBDA24D1FF112270

who can help give me information on the above mentioned car
to replace the timing chain guide,
or can you just replace the brownish/black "fiber-slider" on the guide.

Do you usally have to replace the chain, or the tentioner when
fiber-slider falls off the guide?

The car was still running, a bit rattely and the chain looks in my opinion good, and the gears as well/

My main-question is, if I just have to replace the slider, or the whole timing-chain, and tentioner?

Who can give Informations, and detailed Informations, how I can get that Job done.

Also, How can I get the fan and waterpump off, if needed,
and can I reseal the power-steering-pump.

Thanks for your answers!

Truly yours...

ON that & any 1984-86 190E 2.3 you should remove the ENTIRE front cover to replace all of the worn parts for the timing chain. THOSE engines have a single row chain, & only the 1987 & later have an oil spray nozzle to lubricate the chain & gears!

Requires the removal of oil pan & everything on the front of the engine! Takes me about 10 hrs on that job & I've done lots of them!
