Timing Chain Tensioner Spring for Land Rover 2.0L Diesel and 2.25L Petrol and Diesel four-cylinder engines.

This spring applies constant pressure to the timing chain tensioner blade, maintaining correct chain tension across the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. Correct spring tension prevents chain slap and timing inaccuracy in the four-cylinder engine.

Frequently asked questions

What does the timing chain tensioner spring do?
The timing chain tensioner spring applies constant pressure to the timing chain tensioner blade on Land Rover 4-cylinder engines. It maintains correct chain tension across the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets, which prevents chain slap and keeps valve timing accurate on the 2.0L and 2.25L engines.
Which Land Rovers use this tensioner spring?
This timing chain tensioner spring fits the 2.0L diesel and 2.25L petrol and diesel 4-cylinder engines used in Land Rover Series 2 and 3, and the Defender up to 2006 with the 2.25L 4-cylinder petrol engine. Confirm your engine type before ordering.
What happens if the tensioner spring weakens?
A weak or broken timing chain tensioner spring lets the chain slacken, causing chain slap and inaccurate valve timing on the 4-cylinder engine. Renewing the spring when the timing chain or tensioner is serviced restores correct tension. It's typically replaced alongside the chain and tensioner blade.
