possible engine pulley problems

well after 7500 miles on my 2011 S550 started getting slight unusual sound from the engine pulley. also when looking at it while engine is on the pulley looked a little wobbly. So took it to park place motors is Dallas and had a mechanic take a look at it. he too thought it was the pulley but was surprised to see this on such a new car, especially when the pulley only drives the AC and the alternator, not the steering pump as that is fully electric. I will know something by tomorrow as to what the actual diagnosis and fix is. keeping my fingers crossed. The sound would be more pronounced when the AC was on.

Is it a major job where they have to take engine parts apart or is it on the outside.

Idler pulley replaced under warranty, within 24 hrs. I am a happy camper.
