I can see them charging $1,700 for that pulley. The pulley can be purchased used for less than $300 and put on easily. I cannot remember any magnet failing on the SC ever on this forum.
The magnet part of the SC can maybe be purchased from the SC maker if not from Mercedes or Chrysler. If you went to the right people it probably could be rewound, it isn't rocket science.
I would get exactly what it is they are changing and get it written down before committing yourself to anything.
Thankfully I have an extended warrenty and they are covering all charges minus $100. So they are replacing that and the harmonic balancer. I am going to make sure they know that when they fix this and the problem is still there I am not paying another $100 deduct. Lol.
