TD5 Chain Tensioner

DISCO2RS4 · Sep 3, 2015

I've developed a leak here

Im I ok to just remove the tensioner and replace that washer? I remember doing my M3 and it was just a case of unscrewing changing the washer then tightening it back up? is that the case with the TD5 also?

Thanks

TD5 is a chain is it not?

yes but the chain tensioner has nothing to do with what you posted IMO, cos it's under the front cover and it can't cause any leak, you must remove the front cover to reach the chain tensioner

just saw your edited pic... i understand what you mean now, the hydraulic adjuster, you can replace the washer without probs

If I remember right the big nut arrowed is a spring loaded bolt which has a sealing washer. It pushes against the plastic chain guide.
You can unscrew it and change washer

sorry, for me the accuracy of terms is problematic... i edited my previous post, the fact is that the ''chain tensioner'' is not = hydraulic adjuster to me
