perfect..i have over 130/140 and all original except for hoses etc. water pump is orig. if try the dye but i dont see my coolant levels changing with it getting hot. yea, ill have it tested. this is now my daily. just sold my E430 = bullet proof benzo! but..yea, i watched your other video today in prep for a pump. tedious but can and will be done.

like others said, thx for the AWESOME videos for s430/s500. i cant find anything for what im needing to do except forums..i need video/pics.

thx man. ill comment on the other video when i get the pump.

my tensioner has a star hole with a nipple in the middle so i cant use a normal socket to remove the belt. bummer hahaha

Cheers!

If you want to replace the idler puller and tension pulley while doing this is it necessary to remove the fan shroud. If so, how is it removed?
