Hi All

This vehicle has A/C

This customer is having problems with it keep throwing the auxiliary belt. I am told this is the third belt to go in 12 months

I have suggested the two idle rollers and a new tensioner

My question is has anyone had the pleasure as I cannot even get my hand up the side to the pulleys, all surrounded by chassis

Thanks

Peter

I have changed one on a slightly older model that came as the whole bracket and rollers from Mercedes. It wasn't badly priced from memory. Remember it being a bit awkward but releasing the engine mounts and some other bits and pieces made life easier. Think I spent a couple of hours doing it.

Hi Liam

Thanks for the reply

I just fitted a belt for now as the customer needed to be mobile asap. I did see that it comes as a complete assy and looks very tight, I advised him that the A/C compressor may have to be removed to gain access which I cannot do (nothing to de-gas with)

He is going to get a couple of quotes from dealers first and then get back to me

Customer came in today to book a service and MOT

He has arranged for Gatwick Mercedes to replace the tensioner assy next week. Tensioner assy is around £160:00 plus 4 hours fitting. He was quoted £600.00 total

Check the one way pulley on the alternator first.
