1996 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG
Drive Belt Pulley

So used the VIN# search site that Mickey13 mentioned on engine swap thread going and found this on my 96 C36:
04-04-1996

NHTSA Recalls
The Drive Belt Pulley On The Engine Can Develop Fatigue Cracks In The Metal And Break. If The Drive Pulley Breaks, The Car Would Not Have Engine Cooling, Battery Charging, And/or Power Steering.

I looked for threads on this...anyone ever change this out?

Also, as a side note my VIN# search brought up two separate different color C36s which I thought was weird???

No kidding? Easy job? Obviously as you can tell I didn't even start the search yet before asking.
Thanks!

Yeah loosen the bent tensioner, remove the belt couple of bolts holding the pulley on if I remember. Belts are also like $25 On that website.

Always go with OEM parts. If you have to have genuine or can't find OEM then go with mbdirect.com or somebody like that.
