This guide applies to the majority of Mercedes-Benz cars. It requires a few basic tools and approximately thirty minutes. Replacing the drive belt tensioner on the Mercedes-Benz engine is relatively easy. When this happens, you normally hear noise from the front of the engine. The tensioner pulley bearing may also fail. The drive belt will come off the various pulleys, possibly causing damage. If not replaced on time, it can fail while the engine is running. Over time the tensioner pulley can start to crack.
Start the engine and ensure the belt and tensioner are working properly. Put pressure on the tensioner’s 17mm head to move the tensioner up and remove the locking pin. If the belt does not reach, ensure it is not sitting on top of one of the pulleys. Make sure it is routed on all the pulleys properly. Typical torque for the tensioner bolts ranges between 25Nm to 35 Nm. Torque the tensioner bolts to the recommended manufacturer specifications. Start threading the tensioner bolts by hand until a few threads have gone in. #MERCEDES 2005 C230 KOMPRESSOR AIR FILTERS INSTALL INSTALL#
Install the new timing belt tensioner. Remove the upper bolt from the shock to disconnect it from the engine block. Some models also have a shock attached to the tensioner. Remove the top Torx bolt using an E12 Torx socket and a 2″ extension. Slide the drive v poly belt away from the tensioner. Do not use any item made of plastic as a pin. The pin needs to be strong enough to withhold shear force. A 5mm Allen wrench or bolt can be used as a pin. Insert a metal pin in the tensioner hole to keep the tensioner up. Use a 17mm socket to move the tensioner up (service) position. Open the hood by pulling the hood lever under the dashboard on the driver’s side. Park, the Mercedes-Benz, set the parking brakes and allow the engine to cool down. It is ok to reuse the old belt if it does not show wear, cracking, degradation, or drying. While it is not required to replace the drive belt, it makes sense to replace it simultaneously as the tensioner. Animals love its sweet taste, so even a spilling a small amount on your garage floor can end up in the dog's stomach pretty quickly. Promptly wipe up any spilled fluid as it is highly toxic. Always wear safety goggles when working on your C230. Removing the coolant reservoir cap on a warm engine could cause the cap to fly off at a high rate of speed and fluid to spray out of the reservoir. 
These coolants will typically say 50/50 or pre-mixed on the front of the coolant bottle. Some coolants will come premixed-that is, you don't need to add any water. Mix the coolant / antifreeze with distilled water so that you have a combination of 50% coolant and 50% water.

Be sure to check your owners manual to determine the correct type of fluid to add - for Mercedes-Benzs, it will typically be in a section titled Fluid Capacities in the back of your manual.

The video above shows you where the coolant reservoir in your C230 is located and how to add coolant / antifreeze. Make sure to check your engine when it is cold for an accurate reading. Engine coolant / antifreeze circulates through your engine to keep it cool in the summer but won't freeze in the winter. Adding engine coolant (also known as antifreeze) to your 2005 Mercedes-Benz C230 is pretty easy.
