Mercedes Benz Case Study 205: SL280 Fan Belt Set Replacement

It’s recommended to replace your Fan Belt and Tensioner once they exceed 120,000 kilometers to prevent unexpected issues.

As these components wear out, you might hear squealing or screeching noises when starting the engine or accelerating—signs that the belt is slipping. A failing belt can reduce the effectiveness of the cooling system, leading to engine overheating.

You may also notice harder steering if the power steering is affected, or a battery warning light if the Alternator isn’t getting enough power. Regular inspections can reveal wear signs like cracks or fraying, and a faulty tensioner can cause the belt to wobble or lose tension.

At Revol Carz Garage, we don’t just replace parts—we inspect, diagnose, and install with precision. Keep your engine running quietly and efficiently. Visit us for expert care and preventive maintenance that keeps your car in peak condition.
