Oh the pulley on the tensioner broke. I thought it was the idler pulley when I first read it. Might need to just replace the tensioner. Sent from my iPhone > On May 20, 2020, at 6:58 AM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > wrote: > > Maybe it is just a “star-shaped” driver, was dark out there

Yeah. Tensioner. That’s what I meant. I have 2 idler pulleys for the 99 will have to see if they are the same. I’m going to run and just get the pulley from the stealer to get it running and home. Can deal with the other later --FT Sent from iPhone > On May 20, 2020, at 8:50 AM, Dan Penoff via

That’s not the idler, that’s the tensioner. Replace the idler anyway while you’re there. You can buy an OEM idler, Litens is the supplier - DO NOT BUY A Febi!! Litens is about $90 from places like FCP Euro and others. -D > On May 20, 2020, at 7:57 AM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > wrote:

Maybe it is just a “star-shaped” driver, was dark out there in the woods and I only had my phone light. I have those in my tool box. My buddy has a gate to his vast estate just a 1/4 mi down the road, he says it’s parked in the neighborhood redneck’s field driveway, so I’ll move it to his place

Hey, don’t sweat it - that’s an easy and relatively inexpensive repair. And you knew it was coming… Only buy the OE idler! No aftermarket! -D > On May 19, 2020, at 9:32 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > wrote: > > So the idler pulley on the new E320 wagon I made a “note to self” to
