Just a quick question.
Im struggling to track down a starting issue. I would like to remove the serpentine belt and try start the engine without the alternator being driven on a 300tdi. This would rule out a seized up alternator. I know the chances of it are slim but its still a suspect at this point. The other being a baked starter motor.
I've read up on how to get the belt off and back on. Just wondering if its safe to run the engine for a few seconds without the belt?
