- C180 Kompressor 2003
Getting squeeks from the belt on low rpm when e.g. turning to full lock, belt is new and tightener roll also.
Therefor suspecting the alternator freewheel. When i replaced the belt a while ago i spun the pulley by hand and couldn't feel a difference in spinning CW and CCW. In hindsight that probably means the freewheel has seized.
How do I go about replacing it? There are a few different tools on ebay, with concentric torx and xzn grips, is that all I need? Will there be any kind of violence involved in persuading it?
It's a C180 kompressor therefore the M271 engine, 120 Amp generator unsure wether it's valeo or bosch.
