Yikes!

After doing a search, it looks like I'm on borrowed time with my 300E. At 165,000 miles the fan pulley bearing / bracket is still original. I'm going to change it as preventative maintenance. $108 here at Fastlane. It looks like another tip to go along with this is to purchase the o-ring for the coolant pipe that goes into the thermostat housing, since that has to be removed to get to one of the bracket bolts.

Thanks again!
