Can anyone help?
I have a 2006 A 180 and need to fit a serpentine belt.
Can this be done without dropping the engine?
Thank you for any help you may have.

sure can on 170cdi what engine is yrs there aint much room tho and a long levered modified spanner 13mm ring about 20 inches long and slightly curved did the job i suspect yrs will be similar .dont you have a haynes for the car ? car with ac uses different belt to non ac my eng 668 yrs ?

It is a 2 ltr diesel the belt is situated behind the wheel arch with no access from above.
I can't find a workshop manual for this model anywhere.

another thing, if yr going in there suggest you change all pulleys you can tensioner idler wise there is,i think 1 on an assly ?that aint coming out without lowering engine.assly down. its a few yr ago and i skipped that. also try to inspect the crank pulley there is a metalastic damper built in ,on 170 anyway, that suffers from de laminating and then giving you a huge headache , i have one, but to date i did,nt need to change it ..yet!


just seen yrs, yup access is from under d/s covers have to come off i did mine on my back with wood blocks under car , no fun at all if yrs the same . looks very similar to me.

Perhaps it's best to drop the engine after all.

Thank you for your input.
