This is a very important maintenance item for all 617 5 cylinder turbo diesel owners. This set of 4 belts will fit all turbo diesel 116 and 123 models from 1978 to 1985 including 300DT, 300CDT, 300TDT. WARNING - WARNING to 300SD owners - see notes below.. When these belts get loose or worn they can cause all kinds of problems like poor battery charging, engine overheating, jerky power steering, and noises that range from squeaking to rattling.
It can even be worse if someone has installed aftermarket v-belts. Our experience has proven that anything less than Continental Belts is not acceptable nor will you be happy over the long haul. And we always recommend you install all four belts new at the same time with the correct OE German Continental belts.
This set of belts is sold WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS for those who already know how to remove and replace them. This is not an easy job if you have not done it before. If you would like instructions we recomend you purchase our illustrated step by step sourcelet CLICK HERE to read more.
PLEASE NOTE: Most 1981-1985 300SD Models have different size alternator belts. (other belts are ok). If you have a 300SSD you must check the size of your alternator belt before ordering. If unsure please note your belt size before ordering! The alternator belt size in this kit is 10 x 1035. Many 300SDs use 10 x 1000 belts. We can substitute the shorter belts but you must inform us via email. If you order the wrong belt they are not returnable.
