    I saw your video many times and it definetly helped, really struggled to get that alternator away from the block, it was really really hard. Thank you

    You removed too many things that you didn't have to remove, but the video was very informative. Thanks.

      @ramborambo4041 thank you for the feedback, I realized that after finishing the job. Nevertheless, it was the only video of an alternator change for this automobile at the time.

    Any idea as to why the belt keeps coming off. I have the same car and looks to be the same setup but my belts keeps coming off from where the alternator goes.

    • @Nikia17
      @Nikia17  Рік тому

      Informational Purposes only: It is most likely an issue with the tensioner or the one of the pulleys. The issue I was having was due to the Alternator pulley being broken. I could have simply replaced that pulley on the alternator and this would have resolved my issue. I hope that helps.

    Thx for the whole thing. I am wondering if you need to bleed the coolant system because you lost some coolant when isolating the hoses from the inter cooler? I just want to make sure. Thx a lot

      @@Nikia17 thx for quick responses. Sorry if I didn’t explain properly. I meant that if it needs to bleed the air trapped inside the coolant system out after some coolant lost when isolating hoses from inter cooler? Simple terms, how to “ burp” the coolant system? The coolant system is a closed system after all. Thanks very much. Your answer is greatly appreciated.

      I do not, but I believe you can call Mercedes Parts and they will give them to you. Just make sure to have your VIN available to ensure they can look up the correct ones.

    What size Allen do you use to put in the tensioner to keep it locked

      @Nikia17  Рік тому

      I don't recall the size, but it was small enough to fix in the hole yet large enough not to bend. Hope that makes sense.

    The wire and connector can be disconnected from the bottom rear very very very easily also the fan should be removed according to mb but it’s easier to just remove the upper radiator hose also removing the intercooler coolant lines was not necessary just remove the clip and the e10 if needed

      @themrrodriguezmiguel Рік тому

      I found it easier to remove the wire connector after the alternator was free. I twisted the alternator to see the clips. You do have to remove the back power screw but can leave the plastic wire connector on until the alternator is free
