W202 C200 front engine belt and tensioner help please

[Danny341]

Hi again guys, After discovering my front belt is mashed and needs replacing, im after what its called so i can ask for one... I dont wanna call MB and say,
'err hi im after the big belt that goes round the front of the engine'


Also, once i locate one of these belts, im curious as to how it fits, ive taken some pics,

Am i correct in thinking this pulley from the close up pics is the tensioner?

Is it spring loaded or does it need to be removed? A friend of mine says if i can get a big bar on it, it may spring inwards slacking off the belt?

I thought it best i ask here before i go breaking stuff...

So any help please?

EDIT HERE:

I did try a little search before i posted this, but seeing as i didnt know what im actually looking for is called, i didnt get very far

Let me have your email address and I will send the details

You do not have to remove the fan as you do not have one

Im unsure of what you mean about removing a fan though? I want to replace the belt....? :neutral:

My instructions tell you to remove the fan, but you do not have one so just read on from that point and it will all become clear,,I have sent it, you can remove your address in edit if you wish

Cool beans, i see it, Although, im slightly confused by it....

I see i guessed right with which pulley to attack, But im unsure if the diagram is telling me ive got to remove the puley completly?

I also see that the pulley has a hex on the end of the thread, and a nut on the thread also, which one am i suppose to be undo-ing?

I do apreciate the help so far... Your a star!

re belt

its easy where the hex nut is that is your tenisor take a picture of the way the belt goes then get a spanner on the hex nut that should release the belt its not that hard but make sure you know which way it goes back hope this helps

Yes as satwinder you turn 4 with a E10 socket to release the tension and slip it off ,,do not touch any pulleys

 

[Danny341]

i presume you spin the thread with the E10 then? As if i was undo-ing a normal nut (rachet on release so to speak)

And then to re tension, i just tighten up the E10 thread again?

Sorry for all the questions, i just wanna make sure im right before i start.... These cars are nothing like the Civics im used to working on...

I think that just by turning that nut 4 swings the tensioner part 2 in the link so that the belt comes off, it does not undo

Ive done this, Spend a whole morning trying to get the right belt, And it took 11 mins to do start to finish.... Awesomely easy!

Thanks for all that helped....
