I installed a new Dayco belt, $27 from Pep Boys. I could see nothing wrong with any pulley, no burr, all in alignment. New alternator turns smoothly with no play. I suspect it was coming apart because it was old and the new alternator and recharged AC put too much strain on it, and summer heat isn't helping either.
I'll keep a close eye in case new belt starts to get eaten up. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300, '87 300TD _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
