Supercharger Dead but thx Mercedes
Hi again, here is my history... I live in Mexico about 5 Hours from the border of the USA, as u should know, Right Now Mexico have a lot of problems with the crime, kitnappings, drug cartels and that... 2 days ago i killed the supercharger of my C230 Kompressor, when someone tried to assault me, and I have run with all the strength of my Beloved Mercedes, I forced it to the limit but i managed to lose the thugs, when finally get home i hear a strange sound comming from the car but i just wanted to sleep...
In the next morning i decided to hide my car for a few days, and i started the car and hear the strange sound comming from the engine, I called my mechanic, a friend who works in the mercedes, he check the car and tell that i have a dead Supercharger.... and now I am in the search for a used supercharger with a low mile on it, mine had only 95k Kilometers, If someone have one plz let me know... thx

Glad you're ok after your ordeal!!! I'd head that the boarder was dangerous but 5 hours away!
There are salvage yards in the US that will surely ship to Mexico. Try car-part dot com.
Good luck and stay safe!

Is not only on the board with USA where there is drug cartels working, I live in Tamaulipas state, and the crime is installed in all the levels of the society, is an awful cancer, for example here we don't have police in all the state, the security is managed by the federal force, the military and the marines, there is no local police because they was corrupted. There is places In Mexico where u don't find any problems, like a tourist place... Cancun, Los Cabos, huatulco, the center of the country. I will check the place do u give to me and thx, I will upload pictures of the fix to. Thx
