My car has been to dealers for service more than I ever thought a Mercedes would have to.
Just recently, my car has been squealing loud from cold start. As soon as I start up my engine, it sound aloud like ALWAYS lol, but that was normal for it from the first day that it started up
Now, it makes this squealing noise as soon as you put it in reverse. Sometimes its louder, sometimes it doesn't make the noise.
Sometimes I tried to not reverse, and go forward and see what happens, and then when I got to the end of the parking lot, I stopped and it started squealing...
UGHHHH
Is their a recall on this too? Because I need to bring mine in for the Camshaft solenoid one, and I'd rather get everything fixed at once.

mine is c200 kompressor, I had send it in the dealer in SG and had the pulley replaced. But the problem is not solved. Then they told me it is the compressor that is the issue, which will cost SGD4500 to replace the whole compressor... still thinking about it...

Most recently it turned out it was the belt that was squeaking, not the
pullies. New belt, no more squealing.

How many of you have had pulley problems with your w203? This is my 4th pulley replacement in just 6 months..1 idler pulley and 3 alternator pulleys (belts were also replaced).
It is a squeaking noise when your car is in idle but disappears after the engine warms up.
Is this common for the m271 engine or is it just my car?

The bearings are INA Made in Germany (INA Germany is China) and the failing Ford bearings were F.A.G. Canada.
On my lot younger Ford I had to replace all idler bearings already. But I change only the bearings.
