Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Timing Chain Tensioner for the timing chain drive of the 5.0L V8 (AJ133) and 3.0L supercharged V6 petrol engines. It bears against the timing chain guide to hold the correct tension on the chain that drives the camshafts from the crankshaft.

Acted on by engine oil pressure and a return spring, the tensioner extends to take up slack as the chain wears and stretches, keeping the valve timing accurate and preventing chain rattle or jump. A worn or failed tensioner lets the chain slacken, which can upset timing and lead to serious engine damage.

Frequently asked questions

What does the timing chain tensioner do?
The timing chain tensioner keeps the correct tension on the chain that drives the camshafts from the crankshaft. Acted on by engine oil pressure and a return spring, it extends to take up slack as the chain wears, keeping valve timing accurate and preventing chain rattle.
Which engines and models does this tensioner fit?
This tensioner fits the 5.0L V8 AJ133 and 3.0L supercharged V6 petrol engines. Models include the New Defender (2020+), Discovery 4, Discovery 5, Range Rover L322, Range Rover L405, Range Rover Sport L494 and Range Rover Velar. Use your VIN to confirm the engine build.
What happens if the timing chain tensioner fails?
A worn or failed tensioner lets the timing chain slacken, which causes chain rattle, especially on start-up, and can upset valve timing. If the chain jumps, it can lead to serious engine damage. It's usually replaced whenever the timing chain or guides are being renewed.
