I read an evaluation of a 2001 SL500 on mercedesheritage.com and was surprised to find the following:

“... we’re aware of failing crankshaft pulleys on many of the 2000 and later V-6 and V-8 cars. If left unchecked the wobbling pulley will slowly machine a nice groove in the front engine cover eventually requiring its replacement, a very expensive repair... “

I had never heard about this before. Is this a common problem on our cars?

Felt the wobbling pulley (it sound a bit like a helicopter) took it to my indy and he told me i got lucky ...

266 euro plus 85 for the labour.....

at least i avoided bigger damages :bowdown:
