1. Open your Mercedes hood so you can access the belt. Be sure the engine is cool before operating.
2. Loosen every bolt in the series that binds the belt into place. Take special care to remember the pattern in which the fan belt is attached. This is the same pattern youll follow to route the new fan belt. Do not remove the bolts, simply loosen them so that the belt looses tension at each point.
3. Pull the belt out of each connection, making sure you leave it intact so that you can compare it to the new belt.
4. Stretch the old and new belts out completely with both hands. Compare the size of each belt to make sure the new belt will fit your Mercedes engine.
5. Route the belt along each pulley, following the pattern you took note of when loosening the tension. Press down with a free hand after connecting the belt to each pulley so that you continuously create tension in the belt.
6. Tighten the belt at each point along the pattern by turning the bolts hard to the right, which will hold the belt in place.
7. Clean your workplace and put away all tools. Discard of the old fan belt.

1. Start your BMW and wait for the needle on the engine temperature gauge to rise to the middle of the gauge.
2. Open the hood and pull the looped handle in the back of the engine all the way out. You should see red fluid on the end of the dipstick. This is transmission fluid.
3. Wipe the dipstick clean with a rag and reinsert the dipstick into the transmission filler neck until the dipstick cap is fully seated in the mouth of the filler neck.
4. Pull the transmission dipstick back out and check the fluid level. The fluid level should be between the upper and lower marks on the end of the dipstick. If it is not, you will need to pour the appropriate transmission fluid into the neck until the fluid level is between the upper and lower marks on the end of the dipstick.
