INA ZC0313 Engine Timing Chain

INA Timing Chain for Mercedes-Benz Engines

INA ZC0313 is an engine timing chain for select Mercedes-Benz applications from 2012-2018. It is built for precise timing-drive operation, helping maintain correct gear ratios and consistent power transfer in the valve train.

Key Features

• Engine timing chain for the valve train and timing drive
• Precision-engineered for reliable chain-to-sprocket engagement
• Supports stable engine timing under demanding operating conditions
• Low-maintenance design for long service intervals
• INA part number ZC0313 for direct catalog lookup

Detailed Description

This INA timing chain is a direct-fit timing drive component for a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models, including E350, ML350, SLK350, C300, and GLE350 applications. It is also listed for performance and AMG variants such as E63 AMG, CLS63 AMG, S63 AMG, and SL63 AMG. This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz 000 993 13 78 for the same application.

As part of the engine valve train, the timing chain keeps camshaft and crankshaft synchronization accurate so the engine can maintain proper timing and power delivery. The INA ZC0313 is identified by INA Global Number 553 0313 100 and is cataloged across model years 2012 through 2018, depending on vehicle application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain stretch or wear
• Noise from a worn timing drive
• Loss of camshaft/crankshaft synchronization
• Engine timing irregularities
• Maintenance replacement during timing service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and VIN-specific fitment before ordering, since coverage varies by model year and trim. This part is listed for N/A position applications and should be installed as part of a complete timing service following Mercedes-Benz procedures. Inspect related timing components during replacement to confirm proper system operation.

Quality Assurance

INA, part of Schaeffler, supplies precision timing-drive components engineered for reliable gear ratio control and durable operation. The ZC0313 timing chain is built for consistent performance in Mercedes-Benz engine applications and is cataloged for direct replacement use.
