Keeping a Benz out of the salt is never a bad thing, but I'd check to
make sure you have good pulleys and that you are not missing a spacer
under the one on the alternator or something -- verify that the belt
runs exactly true.
Might pull the swivel bolt and make sure it's not badly worn,
This is probably not your problem but ...
I once had a 79 300TD (non turbo) with the single alternator belt. After an
alternator RR the belt kept getting loose, and quickly too. So much so
that I had a battery charging problem. It turned out the problem was a burr
on the alternator pulley
How old is the belt?
What brand is it?
Sometimes it happens that the pulley V is worn so bad the belt only
grips on the bottom, check that.
If the pulleys are good, I would suggest a new quality belt.

everything is new the top of the V belt will be flush with the top of

You can also have a look at the V in the pulley, if it is shiny at the

Your alternator is going bad -- my old 22D did that, and when I took
it in to get it fixed (it eventually stopped charging well) all I got
back was the case. Bearings were shot and the rotor was eating the
stator, caused huge amounts of drag and therefore wearing the belt out.

The newer batteries seem to have lower amp ratings, or it might depend
on where you live. The batteries I get here in SC have lower ratings

You want a Group 49 which has now been supplanted by the H8.
I bought an Autozone H8 last summer, I think it was $130.
My local Car Quest has the best prices in my area, I bought a Group 48 for the
Jetta there for $100 when everybody else wanted $125 or more.

I think that's every day. Just got 35% off a $50 order on Saturday when I
needed an air and cabin filter for the wife's Mazda 6.
Ended up costing me $30 something and change.

There is nothing at all special about the Mercedes-branded (there is no
such company or car as a MBZ) batteries. They're just a relabeled
Johnson Controls or Exide like 95% of the lead-acid batteries
Series 49 battery, I get mine at Autozone and they last a long time.

rather the bolt break than the female threads in the crank be
