Power Steering & AC Belt
Hey!
I lost power steering and air conditioning out on track today and I think it might be a belt that has gone. Does anyone have a guide or access to workshop manual to show how I can change the belt? I just fit downpipes to the car so I'm happy to work on it but only if I have the right information! Otherwise I'll have to admit defeat take it to a garage to do
Thanks!

I had sort of same issue. When I started the car the belt would slightly squeak. I also noticed when turning the steering wheel all the way to the left or right it squeaked. I did attempt to replace myself however after getting a quote from MB I decided saving my knuckles was worth it. The belt was cheap about $30.00 CAD so I decided to have all the belts replaced at the same time. Took a day and the charge from Mercedes dealership was about $500.00 CAD for labor, all belts replaced. I had about 100,000KM on it at that time and no issues from then on. Best car I have ever had......

2018. I was surprised when I had a look myself. Hoping it’s not too much to fix, but hopefully it is just a belt and not anything seized that has caused the belt to slip and rip.

Ive shredded plenty of belts at track. Just fortunate all my cars run the waterpumps off the timing chains and not belts... *WHEW*
