Smart Cabrio Timing Chain Kit 1600520101

Overview
Smart Timing Chain Kit 1600520101
This timing chain kit covers the Mercedes-Benz Smart Cabrio 450 with the 0.6 and 0.7 litre M160 engine, built between March 2000 and January 2004. Unusually for a kit, every component in it carries its own OE number, so the chain, the tensioner, both guides and both gears can each be verified against the Mercedes-Benz and Smart parts systems before the order is placed.
Key Benefits
- Every kit component listed with its own Mercedes-Benz and Smart OE number
- Gear tooth counts stated: 42 tooth and 21 tooth
- 110 link chain specified by length rather than by description
- Six Mercedes-Benz and three Smart references cross referenced
- 1 piece minimum order
Who It Is For
- Distributors covering Smart and Mercedes-Benz small engine parts
- Workshops specialising in the Smart 450
- Exporters into European markets with a Smart parc
- Buyers who need to verify each kit component against an OE system
Problems It Solves
- Kits sold with no component level part numbers to check against
- Two guides that look similar and carry different numbers
- Gear tooth counts that are easy to get wrong on a small engine
- Sourcing a kit for a platform that is now outside mainstream catalogues
Application Scenarios
- Smart Cabrio 450 chain rattle on a car that has stood for long periods
- Timing fault on the M160 engine where individual kit parts need verifying
- Restoration or recommissioning of an early Cabrio 450
- Distributor stock for the Smart 450 platform

Manufacturing
How It Is Made and Checked
Chain link forming and heat treatment
Gear machining to tooth count
Anti-corrosion coating
Kit content count and packing
Quality Control
Each component is checked against its own OE number before the kit is packed. The company runs to ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 quality management systems.
Customisation Options
Individual components can be supplied separately against their own OE numbers. Newly developed references run 30 to 45 days.
Comparison
Most kits are sold under one number and you find out what is inside when the box is open. This one lists a part number for the chain, the tensioner, both guides and both gears, which lets a buyer verify the content against Mercedes-Benz and Smart systems before committing, and lets a workshop order a single guide rather than a whole kit.
Use Guide
Step 1
Confirm the engine, 0.6 M160.920 or 0.7 M160.910, and the build date range
Step 2
Check each component number in the kit against the list on this page
Step 3
Set the engine to its timing marks before removing the old chain
Step 4
Fit both guides and the tensioner with the new chain
Step 5
Confirm the 42 and 21 tooth gears are on the correct shafts before turning the engine over
