I agree !

Curiously, my first SLK32 (it is the earliest of my 3 SLK32s which are all 2002s) was/is lacking a mounting boss (that is part of the waterpump casting) that the Pulley Saver Kit relies on for mounting. I did a little research and concluded it was correct (and original). My other 2 SLK32s have the boss on the pump (and they have original pumps as well).

I discovered this after I had already received my Pulley Saver Kit and Rob (Needswings) excepted the return without hesitation (great guy, great business).

I only mention this so that you look at your SLK32's water pump before you order.

I have a 181 on that car and with a new belt properly tensioned, I still smell a curious odor after spirited boosting that I attribute to mild belt slip (smells like opening a fresh box of bandaids) ... So IMHO this vehicle (and yours trevorradman) would definitely benefit from the PSK.


The NEEDSWINGS catch can is a beautiful piece doing a much needed job and is a must-by. Considering its quality it is very fairly priced.
