Land Rover Part Number: 247912 - Timing Chain Tensioner - 2.25L 4-Cylinder Petrol
247912 is a timing chain tensioner for 2.25L 4-cylinder petrol engines. Fitted on the timing train, the tensioner applies controlled force to the timing chain and works against the chain spring to manage slack, helping to prevent the chain from skipping sprockets or generating noise. Correct chain tension preserves camshaft and crankshaft timing relationships and reduces wear on guides and sprockets. This part is obsolete and is no longer manufactured. Replacement is typically required where the tensioner has lost travel or hydraulic pressure, or where chain stretch has led to excessive play. Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N.
