Squeaking noises from the belt drive
2010 Mercedes Benz E 550 4MATIC Sedan (212.090) V8-5.5L (273.970) Page 367
Cause:
Axial shifting (temperature-related) of the individual belt pulleys and guide pulleys can lead to squeaking noises in isolated cases.
Remedy:
Application of Krytox lubricant - belt dressing A000 989 36 60 (from lubricating kit A000 580 03 50) - one to two drops at each point to the inner
and outer side edges of the poly-V belt. Procedure:
- Bring the engine to the operating temperature (80 deg. C) and switch it off.
- Remove top front engine cover as required to get access to the poly-V-belt.
- Apply one to two drops of Krytox lubricant to the inner and outer side edges of the poly-V belt near the top idler pulley (important: only treat the
edges of the belt. If the lubricant is applied to the running surface of the belt, this can cause the poly-V belt to slip).
- Start the engine so that the lubricant can spread along the edges of the belt.
