Hey, that's a bearing going out. The balls are starting to shift around in the bearing race, causing them to rattle back and forth as the pulleys rotate. This is a common failure for every car in this age range. FWIW, there's a discount available at the dealership parts counter if you're an owner's club member.
It ended up being my alternator pulley. The whole alternator ended up seizing shortly after as I explained in my description. But after I replaced that she’s been good ever since. I filmed this almost a year ago now lol
What size serpentine belt did you use? For the Mercedes-Benz C3 00 I have a C3 hundred Mercedes 2016. I bought aftermarket serpentine belt and it does not fit at all. Please let me know what size to use.
Great job my man!
I need to get this done this weekend. Appreciate the video and appreciate you helping the w205 community. 😎🤙🏼
Ayyyy! Ty bro!
Have you a video on changing the crankshaft pulley. Apparently this should be changed bwt 40-100k but depends on wear really.
Good vid. Good content. Clear instructions. Thank you.

Much appreciated! Glad I could help!
hello great vid, is it the same procedures with the 2019 c300 w205 m264 engines?

bro we have the same squeal when getting in the car... cannot figure out what it is lol
Hello whats the torque specs for pulley and tensioner
Is fixing this car similar to the cla45 amg 2016? Same issue
Bro I found your channel 2 years ago when you did your springs why did you stop working on the Benz 😭
Hey sorry brother! I just haven’t worked on it much. It’s my wife’s car and she’s just been driving it 😂
Where did you buy the replacement kit?
I ordered oem parts from eBay. You can also find them on Amazon
Did the tensioner need to be held open to get the belt on?
When it’s brand new there’s a pin that keeps the tension off of it until you’re ready to pull the pin
make sure to take care of those shocks while you're in there haha
Lmao it was the ball joint on the lower control arm 😂
Also how many miles on your c300
Just a tad over 110k now
