Ask for proof that the harmonic balancer has been replaced. Search a bit more on 'W210 spring perch' to find the (far more expert than I) consensus on how to check/inspect for that issue. Try every knob, switch, and button - several times if possible.

Thanks, I ready every single thread that contained 210/320 and perch in it. I did not see one single post with cars that were 2000-2002, just earlier -- mostly 96 and 97. Now, you noted the problem in your 2001 model, of course. I guess it is just much less likely in the later models.
Someone tell me more about the harmonic balancer issue.
