Get a contitech belt made by continental, Same as the Mercedes belt and 2/3rds cheaper, check water pump and idle pulleys for movement when the belts off that's all.

I would fit a quality replacement but not necessarily from MB. The factory belt on my 190e lasted only 8 years before showing signs of cracking. The brand name but none OEM replacement lasted 18 years with no signs of deterioration.

I've always run ContiTech belts with no issues.
