Evening all,
I have a first-gen B Class (W245) and sadly the alternator (drive) belt came off on Sunday night. Luckily I managed to pull over and get towed home.
I now need to buy a replacement belt. I'm looking on carpartsforless and can see three options:
1. Length = 1300mm (without A/C - without stop/start)
2. Length = 1765mm (with A/C - without stop/start)
3. Length = 1986mm (with A/C - with stop/start)
As my B class is a 56-plate without stop/start, surely I should go for the 1765mm belt? Please can someone confirm that is correct?
My brother (the mechanic) has also said that the pullies are knackered and need replacing. Is there anything else that we need to watch out for when tackling this job? The A/C pump perhaps?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
