      | 
       1.
       | 
      
       Remove the intake hose and resonator (B206i B234i).
        
        
       | 
     
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 
       2.
       | 
      
       Turn the crankshaft to the 0° mark and remove the plug.
        
        
       | 
     
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 
       3.
       | 
      
       Take out the locating pin and spring.

       4.
       | 
      
       Remove the chain tensioner.
        
        
       | 
     
    
   
  
  
  
  
   
   
    
   
   
  
  
   New chain tensioners come with the spring under tension. Be careful not to remove the pin before the chain tensioner has been fitted in place on the engine.

       1.
       | 
      
       Prepare the chain tensioner for fitting by pressing down the catch and pushing in the chain tensioner.
        
        
       | 
     
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 
       2.
       | 
      
       Fit the chain tensioner, using a 27 mm socket.
        
        
       
        Tightening torque: 63 Nm (47 lbf ft).
       
        
        
       | 
     
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 
       3.
       | 
      
       Fit the plug for the chain tensioner with push rod and spring.
        
        
       
        Tightening torque: 22 Nm (16 lbf ft).
       
        
        
       
        As the plug is screwed in, the spring pushes the tensioning arm out and so tightens the chain.

       4.
       | 
      
       Fit the resonator and the intake hose (B206i B234i).
