Factory Mercedes-Benz Timing Belts

Are Timing Belts and Chains Interchangeable?

No. Timing belts and timing chains are separate components, and they don't fit together in most engines. The choice between the two is a fundamental design aspect determined by the vehicle manufacturer and is typically based on the engine's design and specifications. You can't usually switch a timing belt for a timing chain or the other way around without extensive modifications to the engine, and it's not a common or practical practice.
