I find that I need to change the belts on my W123 300TD and have loat my manual and all the online resources that I used last less than a year ago seem to have gone.

I can see how to slack off the power steering pump but there seems to be a plate secured by a threaded wire bar over the alternator.

Just wondered what the process is for slacking of these two to replace the belts which howl like a banshee much to my fiances consternation.

Best regards

Darren

Might be best to try the W123 forum. I'll move your query there.

Try the wiki, it is a great online resource of information:
Main Page - Dieselbenz.info/Wiki

It is a 1983 300TD Auto, have now added this to my Sig.

The Wiki does not have any info bar a picture of a belt on it )

Will probably only take 2 minutes to do its just I don't want to undo the wrong nut and for it all to fall to pieces... LOL

Here's a crappy pic, but you may be to tell which bolts to loosen, actually, all involved. That long (#1) bolt is the adjuster.
In the second pic, the adjuster is #5.
