Yesterday I noticed a nasty rattle at idle.
Found that the bolt that holds the idler pulley damper to the tensioning lever had gone, so the shock was swinging loose and pulley was bouncing around.
Today I removed the shock & spring and have rotated the lever enough to get a new bolt in place...
The Crank Pulley on my SL500 seems to be a bit bent and knocked about. This is evident when the engine is running and the belts are noticeably wobbling. I suspect that the people who replaced the water pump have given it a hard time !
The water pump has already been replaced and the engine...
Hi again,
I need help regarding a supercharger issue.
My car is a manual w203 c200 Kompressor MY2002, with the M111 engine producing originally 163ps.
In its standard form the car was working under a boost level of 0,37 bar at full throttle. Near the rev limiter this could go a bit higjer...
Hi,
I have a '93 E320 Cabriolet that has a "failed" pulley on the emissions air pump. These are parts A 104 140 08 86 (Pulley) and A 104 140 14 85 (Air Pump). My local MB dealer is saying the pulley can't be sourced and that the Air Pump is £923 with a 4 week wait from Germany. Anyone have any...
Hi All,
After replacing the snapped drivebelt in my 2001 C270 CDI, it lasted only a few minutes before shredding in two.
The culpret is that the water pump pulley had only 3 grooves left in it and a sharp bit where the rest use to be.
I have checked out the parts site (.ru one) and cannot...
How much power and tourqe can I get if I install an underdrive pulley like this one on a C43 AMG?
Since the car is a non supercharged engine will there be any improvement with this pulley?
I link the part.
This part looks to be made of better quality than others seen on internet...

A stupid question I know, but what is the rationale behind a free-wheeling alternator pulley?
I'd have thought that the alternator would always be generating power and therefore would never free-wheel so I'm obviously missing something.
Thanks,
On motorway last night and battery charge warning came on the dash, noticed as changing lanes that the steering had gotten heavier and then after another 20 minutes of "I can make it home before it dies" about every warning light came on and I lost power. Taken home on a low loaded as the belt...
What happens when the rubber spacer behind the crank pulley (I think?) perishes, shrinks, and allows the hardened steel pulley wheel to wobble on its axis?

It's leaking oil and requires an engine-out repair, the cost of which approaches 50% the value of the car...
Hello everyone.
I posted last year when I had fuel problems which largely due to the advice given on here were solved.
I am in France at the moment and due to come back on Tuesday when disaster has struck.
Last Sunday there started a squeak from the front pulleys area of the engine.This got...
Hi all, I need a stock pulley to replace my broken one.
Trouble is these just don't just appear in Tesco that often.
Has anyone replaced their power steering pump RECENTLY and wondered what to do with the old one. I have the solution. PLEASE PM me, I will make some use of it by using the...
Has anyone had a pulley upgrade for their AMG 32? I'm having trouble finding anywhere that supplies them. The other option is to source from the US. Has anyone done this?
Thanx
What a day!
A friend wants me to take his car to slough in the morning to have a remap & pulley fitted to a Jaguar XKR, fuel paid for, & getting paid handsomely! for my trouble, :bannana:

This is a great piece of engineering. Very well made aluminium and very light.
I have tried to fit it on my C43 AMG but can not undo the crank bolt and have broken a few tools trying to get it off. I don't want to end up shearing the bolt off and having a big mess on my hands. Has anyone...
Hi Guys,
Next mod to the car is going to be a larger crank pulley next month. I have sent an email to ASP Racing, and recieved the following response, but it makes little sense to me other than saying they cant supply it!! :crazy:
Has anyone done this mod to the 230k engine, he suggests...

Guys - looking for some advice here...
How big a job is changing the crankshaft pulley ( also known as harmonic balancer ) on E55 W210.
How much should a good indy charge / how many hours labour is this.
Is this something that requires special instructions around torquing the crank bolt...
