- OLD c32 rep, c220 cdi. NEW e63 rep e320 cdi
Hi I have a diesel 220 cdi w203...
& basically heard some sort of squelching yesturday whilst driving around, Upon having a closer look, the next Day (in the light) I see the belts still ok, BUT the alternator pulley possibly had seized..
The car stalled at a junction & would not start???
Managed to get the car out of the road, & later fiddled with the pulley shaft, & the engine cranked over, (& now starts), BUT sounds like a bunch of bearings gone, Tested alternator with multimeter & its still working...
What do you recon before I take it off?
Clutch on the Pulley?
Alternator shaft & bushes?
OR basic bearings shot?
Is there a FIX? OR just Rapid replacement?
cheers...
