How-to/Instruction's Thread
 

Hey fellas,

I'm a new member and would like to start by saying this is a great forum!

The reason i'm starting this thread is I can't seem to find detailed instructions for the pulley/belt removal on the C32 AMG.

Perhaps we can use this thread to post ANY and ALL Technical Information regarding the C32/C55 AMG's. Keeping this info all in one thread will keep search clutter down to a minimum. With that said, feel free to add any links I may have missed or that will become available.


Thanks,
Albert Hernandez.


PS, I hope members don't mind me posting info/links to their threads. If anyone does, please pm me and i'll be sure to remove the link.

Please don't take this in wrong way but I think there is a "how to" thread somewhere around here...

welcome...welcome....

Welcome aboard! The links you posted would go great in this sticky thread, if they aren't already there. https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...7-10-07-a.html
As for your belt removal, crank the tensioner pulley (#9 in the graph above) and it will take the tension off the belt. Then just slip it off.

Fantastic, thanks for the belt/pulley info. I found a diagram on the net as well.

I'm aware of the "newbie" thread. However, i'd like THIS thread to condense the many links found throught the forum and be focuesd primarily on all things TECHNICAL. This way forum members, new and old, may find schematics/diagrams instantly. :y

In the Subaru community we have a site called Scoobymods.com which does this. It's very helpful, especially when your under the car and forget what goes where! lol

Road & Track Technical breakdown and testing of the 2002 C32 AMG (PDF) added. :)

Love the PDF file on the pulley instalation, would you happen to have one on the code 3 intake as well? Anyone have a DIY lowering springs?

Hey there,

Glad to hear the PDF was helpful. As for the springs, i've just added a link under the Suspension category. Keep in mind this is NOT a certified method, but it should at the very least point you in the right direction.

Albert Hernandez.

Doing them this weekend, this will definetly help out! thanks

Excellent thread idea (for a solely technical compilation), and welcome! :y

Thanks, thread updated.

Albert Hernandez.

welcomeeee and cool threadd

Update.

C32 Y-pipe picture added. Kudos to aho for his contribution to the forums.

Albert Hernandez.

Im still looking for a code3 intake install walkthrough, or if anyone has a replacing headlight thread, that would be very helpful!

Update.

"Diagnostic Mode" procedure added.

i'll make one right now for code3 intake install

This is seriously the most helpful and friendly forum ive ever been a part of, especially Josh (jturkel). Thanks so much for all the help and guidance.:y

Found an awesome and very detailed thread on headlight replacement that should be added

Hey, I am new member, please someone can me how to install the hood struts SL55, thanks

dude.....search the SL55 forum. this is the c32/c55 forum. post your query there.

I'm looking for installation instrcutions for the sprint booster on the C55. Would appreciate a walk through.

i'm guessing you havent searched. sigh. i clicked on "search this forum" and typed in "C55 sprintbooster"

I found this: https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...r-c32-diy.html

i would imagine it is nearly identical to the installation process on a C55
