Thumbs up 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.

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.

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

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.

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
