My old 220D did this. The alternator was bad, the bearing were shot
and the rotor was banging on the stator. Ate belts like crazy, also
didn't charge well.
Have him check the bearings. Any noise, vibration, or ability to
move the shaft in or out or sideways means it's time for an overhaul
or replacement.

My son (he's in Austin TX, I'm in Vancouver, WA) called last night
and said
that his 1980 4 spd. 240D alternator belt has inexplicably loosened
in just
a few days without any of the bolts being loose. Have any of you ever
experienced anything like this? Or have a good guess how this
could happen?
Suggest a cheap possible repair?
TIA,
Greg
