supercharger

[v8lante]

Hi all..i have a slk 200 the supercharger has seized,is there anyone who can recond them or is it main dealer only?

unusual fault - has car been stood around for a few years ? i cant say ive ever seen or come across any of the mercedes range with superchargers suffering from being seized.
I'd try www.Dronsfields.com a merc breakers for a used supercharger, theyre normally quite good. If you go to main dealer be prepared to dig deep in your pockets as it won't be cheap !

Thanks for the reply,a mate of mine who works for MB said hes never seen this!car just stalled... engine locked i then removed lower belt & was able to drive short distance home.I was hoping it would be idler but SC will not turn! its a 2003 with 74000m.Am i correct in thinking its the late non clutch type?I was told these things cant be repaired maybe look to the US...could be an option regards Pete.

Have contacted guiness book of records for having the only Mercedes with a failed supercharger...they are considering my entry!

one in a million at at a guess - as previously stated i've never seen a seized supercharger ! are you sure no foreign debris has passed through it causing it to seize up ?
