1989 560SEL Pulley collision- Help!
Purchased a nice 1989 560SEL from a family that had owned for 10 years. Drove home 160 miles, mostly interstate. Did great!
Noticed a groaning noise sometimes at mid speed but would stop if i pressed harder on accelerator pedal. I assumed it was water pump stating to fail, but temp never rose and i made it home safe. Next day i drove about 20 miles, and 6 miles away from home, she stranded me! Events: - Driving 45mph, all lights lit up on dash. Pulled over and turned off quick. - Popped hood, discovered alternator belt was chewed and gone. closer inspection showed the water pump pulley had shifted forward(toward radiator) and was clashing with the crankshaft pulley. - thus binding on alternator belt, and twisting the A/C belt around and knocking off on the others… -called AAA and took a flatbed ride back to my driveway.. This was a week ago and i have been searching for an answer! My question is… is it possible for the pulley to shift forward because of a failed water pump? Am in the the right direction? No leaks or signs before hand, except noise(could be something else!  ) At this point i will need a new water pump, water pump pulley, crank shaft pulley and belts… Please let me know any other possibilities you can think of! /Users/jameson0191/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2013/11/16/20131116-230602/pYxR2OvDRJOwsf7gUEbPxQ/IMG_4199.jpg

If the water pump bearing failed then I would imagine the pulley could shift forward.
