I have spent hours searching this forum and the net and no luck. This was part of another thread but I've broken it out here in a blatant attempt to attract more attention and hopefully an answer.
How do I adjust the tensioner so that I can remove and replace the serpentine belt?
I've read all the posts I could find and cannot for the life of me relate what I've read to what I see in my engine.
Re: other threads: I don't see any nuts that are pointing up, I see no keyed allen bolt on a pulley. None of the pulleys are 19 mm hex heads.
This is a very late 95 E320 (May 95) engine # 12 090072
Pulley Diagram mine is the lower right.
Atop the tensioning pulley is nothing much. A combination bracket basically. It DOES NOT look like this:
Tensioner
Another post mentions just tightening the tensioner pulley bolt until it moves in, but that's on a 96 104.
I think I'm missing something basic - it's been hours of staring at the engine and checking posts here. I'm not a total idiot (usually). The fan shroud is pulled so I do have a decent view.
I've attached photos of the front of the engine.
Any help with this tensioner setup would be grand.
