Hey Ladies and Gents,
Im new to the forum
Wanted to receive some advice.
I have W203 2005 1.8K, ive had a weird winding noise which sounds similar to a powersteering belt/pump noise which i thought was a tensioner or pulley.
Ive had my car taken to a Mercedes specialist to check out, and after investigation, it comes out this will be the Kompressor/Supercharger bearing/pulley making a noise. You only hear the winding noise when you driving between 10-30mph, basically low revs. The car still drives and idles perfectly.
The mechanic came to this conclusion after loosening the main belt and testing all the pulleys/tensioners.
So my question is:
1. Is it best to replace the entire Kompressor/Supercharger?
2. How much will cost to replace only the bearing part of the Kompressor/Supercharger?
3. Will this bearing seize in the Kompressor/Supercharger and if so what damage will happen??
4. Im doing a long road trip in 2 months time - saying that my wife does 75miles with the car everyday - is it ok to drive like that.
5 Whats the cost to replace the Kompressor/Supercharger incl labour?
Sorry for all the questions but just wanted some more opinions.
Any opinions will be much appreciated.
Thanks
