Re: [diesel_mercedes] Gotta have a belt first!

 

Trish, Not only do you have to worry about length, but width, and angle. If you have a belt that you think might be right, twist it around so you can see how it fits in the compressor pulley. The belt should fit in the groove so that the top sits a little bit out of the groove. Obviously, the angle of the belt should match the angle of the pulley. Now you have two of the three specs you need. If no one comes up with the magic part number, put a piece of rope around the compressor pulley and the drive pulley and mark the rope where the ends cross. (Actually, you will probably want to get Kevin to do all that.) Take the belt and rope to Carquest or NAPA and they can find a match, if they are in the mood. Good luck. Bobby
