So I’m looking to replace the poly v belt. Has anyone come across a guide for this on the E class.
I’ve tried looking around and come across some for the same engine but in different Model Mercs.
By looking at it the procedure seems to be:
-Remove the dual air intake Y piece.
Part 130 in the below diagram

-Remove metal push fit air pipe Part 100 in above diagram
-This metal pipe runs around to the front of the engine and in to this muffler / shock absorber type cylindrical device which is attached to the engine and it seems like the poly v belt runs through this so It has to be detached from the engine.

(Does anyone know what this actually does and do I need to take it off completely or just undo bolts attached to the engine and pull away so I can have access to the belt?)
-Locate tensioner and use a long spanner or ratchet handle to loosen the belt

Carrying out the above procedure should release the belt and I should be able to refit in reverse. Does this sound correct or have I missed anything?
Appreciate any guidance on this. : )
Thanks
