Benzmac & all --

Thanks for posting this topic and specific information. I was at Benz today for warranty service and I complained about "noise" and engine "shaking" and mentioned M-B Tech Tips, Dec. 1, 2000, pg. 4. They checked my Crankshaft balancer, said it was still good but replaced it anyway. On their bill they installed part numbers 112-035-08-00 (vibration AB) and 117-078-0145 (hose, plutn c).

They were very nice to me and did this work pursuant to warranty. However, they would never have checked this issue or done this work had I not approached them armed with the information you wonderful people posted.

The engine is much quiter now and does not shake at all.

Thanks,
