Hello Mercedes lovers! I am new to this forum. I have a beautiful "95" SL320 and I just had the 96,000 mile maintenance check done. The only problem that I have is my air pump is making noise. Foreign Performance that performed the check, said that the pump could lock up at any time. A new one installed is a whopping $800. Someone told me that the pump can be removed and a aftermarket pulley and different size drive belt can be installed saving me about $600. I cannot find any information on-line. Has anyone heard of this and if so, could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Rick
