also can some one post a link on replacing the belt thanks it would be very much appreciated.

I'm guessing that you are needing the routing for the belt?? I had to google it for my 96 c280, they are relatively easy to do just a few hand tools required. Mainly the one for the tensioner. The fan and shourd do not have to be removed. Just a little patiance required. Hope this helps if not let me know.

I just ordered a new fan clutch bearing bracket the belt broke because the fan came off and hot stuck on the radiator

Contitech is the original belt for that model, there are two different sizes. The best is to see if you can get the numbers off the old belt.

I threw it away, I'm gonna go home and work on it right now its been 3 weeks since it broke it wasn't just the belt it was the fan clutch bearing bracket =\

Had the same issue with my 280 but luckily I caught mine before it fell off well at least not til I went to take the fan off.lol but I picked my bearing plate up on eBay for 53.00. I know they can be expensive.
