Hi Forum
Could anyone help me with the diameter fro a Kleemann pulley for my C230 K? - my original one is 170mm.

Thanks

Any m111 engine owners that can help out?

Thanks Mr D
Didnt know it was a m111 - Thanks for that.
Just to make sure it is a 2002 2,3 lt c230k.

I can help you on this, but you need to let me know something, are you looking for the diameter from lip to lip? I just don't want to assume here.

I'll be giving you a measurement back in inches, so hope you don't mind converting.

BTW, my Kleeman pulley is the solid unit.

Plese,don't waste your money on kleemann pulley,it is overpriced comparing
to asp pulley and no hp diff. from one to onother
asp is just 800can or 500 us if i am not mist.
You can return original pulley as well and get money back.
I have asp for 40.OOO KM no problems.

Measurement from lip to lip will work thanks..
I live in South Africa and to get any pulleys are next to impossible .Was looking at trying a bigger pulley from a C180 or C200. Measured the C200 and that is 180mm - dont know if 10mm would make a difference?
170mm = 6.6 inches
180mm = 7.08 inches

Thanks

Contrary to popular belief, size does matter as if it's too small you are throwing valuable power way, too large and it causes belt rubbing against the waterpump pulley. The C200 and C230 would have used the same pulley, don't know anything about the C180. Also, avoid making a new pulley, it's not a good idea as you will lose the harmonic balancer. It's best to take a factory pulley and machine the larger plane smooth and then press and weld a new ring over that, cut the 6 grooves in and then get it balanced (key). I have some installation instrucitons on my website if that helps. Sorry, don't have a pulley to measure for you. All I remember that it was slightly more than 15% larger than stock.

OK, but you don't have to whine!

Is that the pulley? I looked at a ASP pulley and it looks all diffrent? Do this pulley just click on to the on already there or do you have to change the entire pulley?

Thanks!

That ring type goes over your existing pulley and is held on with set screws. Not the best idea! You can however use the outside diameter as a guide for a real pulley.

Buellwinkle

All the pulley kits available now for the M111 motor are basically rings that attach to the factory pulley, the difference being that that the pulley above is attached by you with set screws where the other companies have it pressed on, machined on the pulley so it's true and balanced. Several people have had s/c trouble with the ring above, my theory is because it was very difficult to align and maintain alignment and at least in 2 cases I've heard off (including the pulley above), it came loose. The concept was very good, an inexpensive ring that you can install without removing the factory pulley. Keep in mind that there was a minor issue with belt rubbing at this size so make a pulley this size at your own risk...

So what pulley kit would you recommend, and do you know anywhere i can order it, thank you

Try ASP Racing for your pulley. www.aspracing.com

is there something im missing? their [asp racing] pulleys only seem to work on 98-03 [3 various models] engines. what about 04 - newer?

mdp c230k

This thread is about m111 engines. That is what you missed!

bxtc

Thanks!

The ASP pulley is that a ring pulley too or ... ?

Thank you

mdp c230k

Its a real MB pulley that has been machined to take a ring that is welded on then balanced.

Thanks alot mate.
