I planned on checking the belt tightness today too. I pulled the alternator the other day so it might not be tight enough. I am just always concerned about getting it too tight and messing up the tensioner. Thet contraption is one of the few things that MB designed that I absolutley hate! Hate to tighten, hate to loosen, hate to replace, I just dont like the thing.
