2002 C32 amg issue, please advise
It has been making a whining noise for a while now. When I took it to my mechanic, he told me the bearings in the super charger are gone and either the super charger needs to be replaced (4k) or the existing super charger needs to be rebuilt (3k). I took the car to a dealership to check my options out and the mechanic there told me the bearings of the pulley in the super charger are bad, and the pulley system needs to be replaced (1.5k). Suggestions, advice? I am getting tons of conflicting opinions. Thanks.

If you're at all mechanical, it's a very easy install. Buy the bearing take the Supercharger pulley off and take it to a machine shop to press out the old bearing and press in the new one. If you want to go the pulley saver kit route, it comes with easy to follow instructions. If you search on this forum you'll find a diy for removing the sc pulley. The Code 3 directions are posted in the stickied thread at the top as well.

What did you spend $700 on? If you got the parts from needs wings including the pulley saver kit, then it should have cost half of what you spent, unless you paid some one to do the install.
