Hello
On our old 2001 E320, and with the engine on idle, there is a squeaking noise which must come from the belt at the front of the engine. Trouble is this belt goes around a number of pulleys and I have no idea which one is making the noise. Some of the pulleys are the alternator, crankshaft, two more which must be the steering pump and water pump, and a couple of others one of which must be a tensioner.
I do remember I had to take the belt out in order to remove the alternator and it was a bugger to get back in, I cannot even remember how exactly I did it.
What can I do about this?
Thanks
