Hi all, I am ready to change the serpentine belt. I have read how to do it and am reasonably happy. I did however come across a video that explains exactly what you have to do. It was so precise and clear anybody would be 100% confident in changing the belt. My question is, this is not my video, would it be ethical to add a link to the video or even get it added to the "how to guides"?. The person(s) who have done the video are https://www.1aauto.com/. I would assume they would be happy to have a reference to their brilliant work, but I don't wish to upset anybody.

Perhaps the moderator can help with this one?

Cheers
Mark

 

Hi All

I have decided to post the link to the video for changing the serpentine belt on our Xfire's. Although the video is for the replacement of the tensioner on a 2003-09 Mercedes E320 the early part of the video clearly shows the removal of the serpentine belt, refitting being shown after the tensioner has been replaced on the E320

The video also shows how you use the locking pin to relieve the tension on the belt while you work.

I appreciate other forum members have added instructions/details in the past and I am appreciative of their help, however I feel the old saying... "A picture/video paints a thousand words" and this video removes any ambiguity in what is required.

I hope this helps others. I also thank 1AAUTO for making such a great video.
