Just had the supercharger on my wife's 04 C230K replaced at 26K miles. Fortunately, still under warranty and the whole replacement was covered. Only symptom of trouble was constant grinding sound -- bearings, I'm guessing. From what I've read, 26K seems very early for the unit to go out. I've seen various posts about the particular model of Eaton supercharger that this car uses and whether or not I need to check the oil level. The car has the 1.8L "230" engine. Anyone know which Eaton model we have and if I need to be checking oil?

Thanks,

John
