Problem with belt, noise from Engine bay (videos)
Problem with belt, noise from Engine bay (videos)
So after 2 years with my SRT-6 it's the very first time I have a problem
The problem began yesterday, I turn on the car and heard a squealing noise coming from the Engin bay at IDLE (Dont know if the noise was present when driving, because of road noise)
I tried to record it, unfortunately it as not easy.
Then Today, I turned on the car and I got a scary noise: more like *clak* *clak* type knocking
I recorded it and checked under the hood and saw a "loose" part on the front belt
I dont know if these 2 problems are related but I dont know what to do, it's my daily driver so getting to work tomorrows scares me.
Here is the videos
1 - First attempt to record squealing noise yesterday ( audible between second 3 and second 7)
2 - Constant and loud *clak* noise coming from the engine jut after turning on the car today
3 - Video of the belt and the "loose" part
I really hope its not a big problem
Thanks you all guys

Re: Problem with belt, noise from Engine bay (videos)
Oh sorry I gonna fix that
Done you should be able to access the video
I got advices on Facebook and they told me that it's the Water Pump
So i checked on the forum and found that the Replacement part for the SRT-6 is this one:
Water Pump - SRT6 - three outlets.
Mercedes part#112 200 13 01
The cheapest one I found so far is this one ($181 + $75 of core charge) and its not even new, its rebuild
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...r-112200130188
I have no idea how much a garage will charge for labor. But it seems that it will be at least a $500 total bill

Re: Problem with belt, noise from Engine bay (videos)
either you water pump pulley mounting bolts are about to fall out and thus the pulley is about to fall off, or the waterpump is bad internally. yes the srt6 water pump is an expensive one, I can get you a new one but not for the 180 price you found for a refurb+core
Re: Problem with belt, noise from Engine bay (videos)
Thanks all,
I will not drive the car anymore, I will tow it to the garage
About the price of the WaterPump I found this one on CARID
Cardone® 55-83333 - Engine Water Pump
Which is the Cardone New (not rebuild) #55-83333, it's only 124$ which is very surprising.
or here
$130
Do you think it's the good fit ? It seems to be the good one for the SRT-6

See, you got the same answer here you got on Facebook, except that I told you over there that you could gently drive the car to the garage and a more cautious and experienced Rob told you not to!
Keep in mind, at just over 100,000 miles my belt tensioner and idler puller were dying. I'd change all three items, the pulley is like $15 and the tensioner was only around $120. They'v got to dig in there anyway, the labor shouldn't be much more - but if you need to take it back in six months, the labor will hit you harder.
Crank pulley? Probably a good idea to take a look at that as well, tho I'd not have thought of it.

My SRT-6 has only 39.000miles, but I could definitely see with the garage if they could check the pulley and the tensioner too.
But right now my priority is being sure to find the perfect fit and price for the Water Pump so the garage will not over charge me
Re: Problem with belt, noise from Engine bay (videos)
Ok so I got the garage on the phone and they confirm that they gonna change the water pump. They say thats its difficult to find the mercedes part (112 200 13 01 88)so I told them to get the cardone part (55-83333)
I never had to deal with cardone, do you think its ok to use it ?
Thanks you guys I really do appreciate your help

My wife came home yesterday and said the crossfire was making a noise. Lifted the hood and the water pump pulley is doing this exact same thing. I tightened the bolts and still wiggles and makes noise.
Did the Amazon waterpump fit? what did the shop charge you.
Thanks

Re: Problem with belt, noise from Engine bay (videos)
The parts manual shows the parts that make up the water pump assembly, using the part numbers shown theoretically one could rebuild the pump yourself if no damage has occurred to the main casting and spindle. Back in the day it was quite common to replace the rotating seal which was a carbon like material if I recall correctly, the bearings and seals could all be replaced. This was before the disposable society we live in now and before compsnies like Cardone sprang up from little back street repair shops.
