yesterday i changed the engine mounts on my ml270 which has eliminated the horrible vibrations and now drives lovely.Whilst doing this i noticed something being driven off alternator belt which i wasn't sure what it was.I didn't look into it too much as i was in a big rush to finish mounts before being kicked out of work.I'm fairly sure it wasn't the a/c compressor and didn't look like an alternator,p/a/s pump,idler or tensioner so what is it?It was quite a lump and as stood underneath facing rear it is bottom left.Probs the alternator or something,just wondered if anyone could answer to save me looking
