edit: oh yeah by the way wat's the impact to the amount of power to the car provided from the alternator? cuz i'm gonna put a sound system in the car.. gonna have to wonder about that...
hehehehe

Pulleys
Art-
The pulley is for the crank (engine). The SC pulley is pressed on the shaft- impractical to remove/replace. Not to mention that the SC pulley is already small, reduce its size and give away belt wrap area. If we increase the SC belt plane diameter eveerything on that drive spins faster ( SC and ALT). We supply an ALT pulley so it turns as the same speed as stock, not slower. You will have full AMP rating.

DJ-Pro,
Thanks for keeping this post alive while I was away, I see you added a few pages. Interesting stuff on the dinan website about pullies. Makes ya think that the ring might be the safer way to go when at first I thought it was the less safer way to go because of the possibilty of the ring coming loose. Nothing that loctite wouldn't cure though. After all Kleemann said that a pulley not made to a close enough tolorance would shake the engine apart which is what Dinan says. If this were a serious issue though I would imagine that you would hear more about it on the SLK230 forums considering that engine has been around some years with pulley kits available from various manufacturers. Someone that goes through the trouble of putting a pulley kit on is not the gentlest of drivers.
Mark Cummings,
Did you do the pulley rings yet? Do you have a dyno with your Upsolut chip?

I want to do a pulley but I'm going in tomorrow for the 3rd time for a check engine light. I don't want to void the warranttee quite yet. 4th time's the charm in CA for the lemon law. I'm pretty sure it's the same thing because last time it happened the coolant temp gauge read low like it does now.

I just wish my car will hold together long enough to try a pulley. MB's are just not built to last like american iron. That's why I need an upgrade that's easy on/easy off. Does Kleemann make a velcro attached pulley ring?

Maybe it's all this high tech stuff that makes mechanics stupid. The coolant temp sensor went off 3 times. The first time they replaced the sensor, the next two times they replace the thermostat. What will they replace next? I can't imagine that 2 sensors and 3 thermostats would be bad. It's not really the car, it's the mechanics that look up a fault code and follow the troubleshooting diagram and can't think for themselves. I can't fault the dealers because that's what MB built and that's how MB wants them to troubleshoot. I'm just concerned that if I spend some dough hopping up the car that I'll have to turn it in on the lemon law and start all over. And I think they will find out when they go to take the water pump pulley off to work on the water pump and they can't get it off because of the larger crankshaft pulley.
