Replaced my serpentine belt this past weekend at a cost of 30 minutes and $30 delivered from FCP Euro. I was curious to know the cost to replace at local stealerships. I left messages this morning at two, but heard back from neither. Interesting. Anyone else have recent experience for how much they charge? I’m always trying to tally my DIY savings.
Was it difficult and did you use any procedure documents? My car is getting up there in mileage have done a lot of preventative maintenance recently. Thanks in advance.
Here’s a step-by-step post on another sub-forum, which made it more complicated than it actually is: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...-belt-diy.html
It helps if you have good strength to turn your wrench all the way on the tensioner bolt. No need to use a locking pin. A quick search was all it took to find a routing diagram (below), which was easy to follow.
Coincidentally, the old belt looked just fine after I pulled it off. 55K miles. I’m happy to help out if you dive in and run into any issues.
