Re: [MBZ] How to adjust AC belt, 240D

2006-09-29 Thread Harry Watkins

It turns out that mine does not have the idler pulley, just a straight belt
to the crank pulley.  Scott had it right, loosen three bolt/nuts and use an
adjustment screw.  Neat.

Thanks to all that responded, even Jim's humor gave me delight.

Spray 77 is lightweight stuff.  For hood pads, you want the
Super Trim Adhesive.  I use the 77 for door vapor barriers because
it pulls off without tearing the plastic.  Holds _just_ good enough.

'77 240D it appears that you adjust the pulley that is right in front of the
cylinder head.

On my 82 300SD and 79 300TD, you losen the big bolts that hold the
compressor on and the whole compressor moves with the adjusting screw.  All
done from below.  Only losen enough to move the compressor or thenion will
change when you snog them back down.
