    W169 pulleys

    The original was ribbed. I replaced the the whole assembly with INA (534 0338 10). It is says it's for v-ribbed belt, but I think all three pulleys were smooth. The noise settled down once the new belt 'bedded' in. Your A150: 534 0431 10 - without stop-start function 534 0446 10 - with...
