Also invested in a new OEM Mercedes AMG serpentine belt (made by Gates). I already bought a new Contitech belt, but it was shorter: 6PK2445 vs 6K2449. But when I removed the Contitech belt, something else sparked my interest...

The Gates OEM belt is way thicker than the Contitech belt! I am glad that I invested the 75euro for this belt![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Both the supercharger and accessory belt are special for AMG by Gates. You can see it on the oval stamp next to "Made in Spain". I just bought both from the dealership a couple of months ago:

I think:
- A1139970192 (fat): Supercharger
- A1139970292 (skinny): Accessory

@CDC55AMG
My example is the serpentine belt. I bought a green Gates HD belt for the supercharger
For the serpentine belt, I would highly recommend/urge you to buy the OEM option as there is a clear difference between the OEM solution and aftermarket solution.

Thank you ND and CQhall for posting the Gates AMG belt part numbers. I have a green HD belt for supercharger (83mm pulley & BWK) and a Continental for accessory drive that I got from FCPEURO. Only has a few hundred miles on it but when I change it out will be the the Gates AMG. I found on my Porsche 944s I've had that the OE Gates (made in UK) was superior than the Contitech belt for a timing belt. Anyone use the Gates RPM series belt made for belt driven supercharger systems? Thanks!

These should be applicable for our platform: https://www.gates.com/content/gates/...%20--%201482.8
For my pulley setup (stock/stock), this ones comes closest with regards to effective length: https://www.gates.com/content/gates/...52-098507.html

@C_Note Doesnt seem like it, read the description below. I ordered the K080507RPM and will be comparing it when I receive it. I think the RPM belt is grippier

Same over here, I also dont want to go crazy with a smaller pulley. I will put Midsize or Longtubes over a smaller pulley ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
My belt will arrive somewhere next week.

I was notified with dreaded SBC error messages. I hooked up the scanner and it pointed to the brake light switch.

Also took the liberty to replace the AUX battery (while Im in there). Voltage looked ok, but I dont trust the word of the previous owner (he told me he replaced it). Total costs about 50 euro, which isnt expensive

Thanks to @UncleBenz55 , swapped the ugly blue cap for the wiper fluid with a black&yellow one. Apparently, the pre-facelift E-class had a better looking cap ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
