Be careful. The us spec 300s of that era run a double belt setup on the alternator. The non turbo euros of the same era run a single alternator belt setup like a 240d. The belts are different widths. If you use a us spec 300d belt on the single pully setup it will be too narrow and will slip, causing problems.


Don't ask how I know!
