Hello everyone,
I am Christophe, 47 years old, I live in France (Brittany) I discovered this excellent forum to find repair information. I just bought a small class A for my wife (I would sting her from time to time, I find this car very pleasant to drive), she has 180 000 km (class A smile), she is from July 2005 and she has a metallic sound on the accessory belt side. I start a full interview on this side.

I am a former road driver / bus driver / trainer ... converted in 2002 in the computer and I have some mechanics (CAP bodybuilder + mecca heavyweight + personal interview), but I do not know everything, so as most of you, I come to discuss this very good forum.

Thank you for welcoming me ! :)

?

Yes me too!
I also am in awe of people who can use both hands :)

If it is a W168 A-Class, then the noise may be the Polybelt
It has a tensioner which gets noisy.

Is the noise loud on start up - cold, and then quieter when warm?

Bon chance avec votre problem :)

Welcome.



Whereabouts in Brittany? I have a Holiday 'Shack' (Masure - not quite:)) not far from Le Lac de Guerlédan.
Moi aussi. Mais ma maison est pres de Jonzac dans la Charente-Maritime.

Ditto. Although being a 'Brummie', I suppose even English, to me, is a 2nd Language. If anything, I have a 'linear' brain, in that I can relate Metric to Imperial measurements/threads (even BA) just by looking at them.

When it comes to languages, apart from the usual 'two beers', I'm carp. I've just accepted, over the years, that I'm just not 'wired' to be multilingual.
