What is a belt wrap kit? What's it for?
I keep reading about a belt wrap kit. Initially I thought it was a protective product in case the supercharger belt let loose. So that the belt didn't destroy stuff near the front of the engine. But then I read a thread about how it increases tension on the supercharger belt so it doesn't slip. This was on a page for W211's so maybe it has nothing to do with my CLS55 AMG/W219 ...
Where might I find a tutorial on that kit called the "Belt Wrap Kit"?
I wouldn't mind finding a way to protect from a belt failure even though I drive like an old lady, only occasionally getting freaky ...
Thanks Popeye

Shardul I have a second question...
After seeing the set up of the kit, I find that I have no idea when the supercharger clutch locks and starts that supercharger. At what speed? RPM? does that happen? I really am new to the world of the supercharger. Also the length of the belt supplied with the kit is determined by the diameter of "the crankshaft pulley"? ...
Sorry I am so totally ignorant about this beautiful piece of engineering I just bought...
thanks

CLS55 AMG supercharger operation ...
Anyone know where i can find information on the supercharger on the CLS55 AMG. Specifically when it cuts in and cuts out? I googled it, and came up with a big zero.

I really don't see much of a need for a belt wrap kit, especially on an otherwise unmodified car. Personally, I'd save my money. I never felt the want or need for one on my E55, and it was reasonably modded; Pulley, tune, headers & cams.
