Chain Spring
 

1984 300d Turbo 140,000
This Site have Chain Tensioner Spring $1.96 Pn A5190-14647

Good stuff. :)

JUst so you know, the spring really has no purpose except to keep a slight amount of force on the tensioner while the engine is not running. The force applied to the chain is from oil pressure.

If the tensioner is not tensioning the chain, it is due to low oil pressure or a leaky tensioner unit.
