vibration dampers
Anybody have problems with vibration dampers on their 190Es like I have?
I am on to my 4th. Each replaced one last no more than 50K (km) & these damn parts are NOT cheap. MB is scratching their head on this one & couldn't explain it either. At least they are giving me big discounts....

The "vibration damper" (or refer to as "crankshaft harmonic balancer") is installed behind the crankshaft pulley. If this part fails, the serpentine belt doesn't turn. All lights on dash comes on, no power steering, no water pump-car will over heat. P/N = 102-030-00-74
