Under the rotational stress, high RPM spikes, and severe thermal cycles generated by the Lysholm twin-screw supercharger drive system, these OEM plastic pulleys frequently deform, develop stress fractures, or experience catastrophic bearing breakdown. When the bearing fails or the plastic wall collapses, the accessory serpentine belt shreds immediately, resulting in instantaneous boost loss, overheating, and potential collateral damage to nearby cooling lines and wiring harnesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a direct-replacement upgrade, this idler is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum and finished in a resilient black hard-anodized coating to withstand belt friction and corrosion. The aluminum housing integrates precision cooling slots that dissipate heat away from the core, significantly extending the life of the internal high-speed \u003cstrong\u003eNachi\u003c\/strong\u003e bearing. Finished with a custom protective bearing shield to block road debris and belt dust, it provides rigid tracking across the smooth tensioner and secondary idler positions without deflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Black Billet Aluminum Belt Idler Pulley with integrated Nachi bearing and custom bearing shield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100 style=\" border-collapse: collapse border: solid font-size: min-width:\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2002-2004 Mercedes Benz C-Class, SLK-Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM112K (M112.960 \/ M112.961)\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eW203, R170\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e349 hp \/ 332 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e112-202-01-19\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e112 202 01 19\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e1122020119\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e112-202-00-19\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2002-2004 Mercedes Benz C-Class C32 AMG (W203.065) 3.2L V6 Kompressor (M112K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2002-2004 Mercedes Benz SLK-Class SLK32 AMG (R170.466) 3.2L V6 Kompressor (M112K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the W203 and R170 C-Class and SLK-Class?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2002-2004 Mercedes Benz C-Class and SLK-Class equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eM112K\u003c\/strong\u003e supercharged 3.2L engine; it does NOT fit naturally aspirated M112 models or ribbed guide pulley locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan this be used for both smooth idler locations on the M112K engine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this pulley serves as a direct replacement for both the smooth tensioner idler and the secondary smooth accessory idler, requiring two units if performing a complete system refresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Mercedes Benz AMG Precision Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to meet the exact mechanical tolerances demanded by hand-assembled AMG powertrains, this billet upgrade maintains dead-true belt alignment without throwing accessory codes or chewing belts under peak supercharger load.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67558771654904,"sku":"DS-E6V0SBVW8","price":419.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/upgraded-billet-belt-idler-for-mercedes-benz-c-class-slk-class-c32-slk32-2002-2004-3-2l-1.jpg?v=1790925008","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/upgraded-billet-belt-idler-for-mercedes-benz-c-class-slk-class-c32-slk32-2002-2004-3-2l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
