I have done plenty of reading on this already lol i know how the search feature works on MBworld and here. If you have not heard the sound it is a gut wrenching squeal almost like you think the belt is slipping but you know it is worse. It is right when the supercharger engages about 2000 rpms. Or when you give it the grocerys it sometimes happens as well. My question to you guys is how many have this problem? how many choose to ignore it? how many of you think I should have the supercharger replaced ?
This is what scared me today...... Should I just replace the bearing, or sell my Renntech set up and just buy the new code3 set up with the bearing allready in it ??? HELPPPPPP
This is a Supercharger off of a 2006 SRT6 Chrysler Crossfire with a Mercedes 3.2 litre. Supercharger is in perfect working order only roughly 18,000 miles on it. Removed from vehicle do to a clutch bearing noise. I repaired the supercharger with an aftermarket press-in Code3 Performance replacement bearing. These sell for over $6,000 new, this one is fairly used with no stripped screw holes, broken ears, or cracks. I tested supercharger for noise after bearing replacement by spinning a belt on the pulley to engine speed & could hear no noise previously heard.
