Re: [MBZ] OM606 Serp Belt tension device arm
INA seems to be a good source, they had the right size for the alternator on my '87 wagon with OM603. Not sure if they have a catalog to show all the alternators that they fit. If for your MB, I'm sure they've got one. If another application and the alternator is a Bosch, I'll bet they have that too. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Jul 26, 2021 at 3:13 PM Craig via Mercedes wrote: > On Sat, 24 Jul 2021 20:03:02 -0400 Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > > and I should replace the alternator pulley with the overrunning type > > (OAP) to reduce the wear and tear on the whole serpentine belt > > tensioning system. > > Are these generally available for various types of alternators, or will > one have difficulty locating one for any specific vehicle? > > That question seems rather convoluted and difficult to understand, but I > cannot think of another way to phrase it at the moment. > > > Craig > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Are these generally available for various types of alternators, or will one have difficulty locating one for any specific vehicle? That question seems rather convoluted and difficult to understand, but I cannot think of another way to phrase it at the moment.

Re: [MBZ] OM606 Serp Belt tension device arm
Took me about an hour to do this job. Both the old pin and the pivot arm were worn out, so both needed replacing. I probably could have re-used the pulley wheel, but didn't. Next will be the little shock, and I should replace the alternator pulley with the overrunning type (OAP) to reduce the wear and tear on the whole serpentine belt tensioning system. - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Jul 24, 2021 at 10:06 AM Meade Dillon wrote: > No longer has bearings, it's just the arm with a steel sleeve inserted, > and then it rotates a big metal pin.

[MBZ] OM606 Serp Belt tension device arm
No longer has bearings, it's just the arm with a steel sleeve inserted, and then it rotates a big metal pin. Weird. As far as I can tell, one cannot purchase this as a kit or assembly, the arm, the pulley wheel, and the pin are all sold separately. I'm going to try to tackle this job later today or maybe tomorrow, as the arm has become cock-eyed and is making a horrible shrieking noise. Unsure of which part(s) have gone bad, I ordered all three for about $150. - Max Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
