Hi there

A little while ago I replaced my alternator with a ME203546 125Amp one.  The original had failed.

I need to replace the belts on there and have not had a problem in the past.  Now when I swapped the alternator I did notice that the pully on the new 125Amp one was a little bigger.

When I came to do it this weekend the original belts were a cinch.  To be fair though they are indeed old and they had stretched considerably over time.  The new ones however were really tight and I must admit I ran out of time.

Has anyone else with the 125Amp alternator had this problem?  Should I explore getting a slightly larger belt?  or is there some other trick to getting these on?

I've done my fair share of belts in my time but these I found a challenge.

I think I totally disassembled the adjuster on mine?  Was a while back now but don't remember it being a tricky job. I have original size belts fitted also.

I too have the 125Amp unit.

I rotated the alternator in as close to the block as possible prior to fitting the belt, then moved it out and refitted the adjuster.

I swapped the L300 alternator for a Pajero/Montero one. It was easy enough to keep the L300 pulley and put it on the other alternator. Would that work?
