2003 e320 pulley system
the other nite i was comeing home from philadelphia
and my 2003 e320 started acting all funny the battery lite came on i lost my power steering the gas was not flowing properly. needless to say i made it home. when i opened the hood to check to see what had happened i noticed the belt had come loose.
thier is no diagram to show you how it gets put back on, and also i think one of the pully's had broken off or disintagrated.does anyone know how to find this diagram?

Under the hood at in the area by the radiator there should be a diaghram showing belt routing.
It also sounds like your tensioner bearing failed allowing the pulley / sheive to misalign resulting in the belt jumping off.
You will have to repair the damage before installing a new belt. Be sure to check the radiator to insure it isn't damaged.
