Re: [diesel_mercedes] Pulleys & Belts - 300D

Did the 6? bolts come out, just the center crankshaft nut or did the whole thing break?  Either way, it ain't pretty!  I've heard of the harmonic balancer separating from the pulleys too.  Hopefully, the crank isn't buggered up since this could happen when the nut comes loose and the end of the crank turns inside the hole as it's coming off.

 

Good luck.

[diesel_mercedes] Pulleys & Belts - 300D

Lost my pulleys and belts off the crankshaft last night on the #134
while passing through Glendale, CA. Will get the car towed home
tomorrow morning. Anyone ever have their pulleys separate off the
crank before? Is it a common or uncommon problem on MB's? Did the
mechanic who installed my engine (last May) tighten everything down
per spec? Was it part failure, or mechanics error? It maybe too late
to blame anyone as 9 months have elapsed, but I have never had "pulley
failure" before.
