I just got my MCS and after 4 days I started getting this metallic sound and a slipping from the pulley band. Went to the dealer and told me that the pulley needed adjustement and lube. After 5 minutes it was back. Went to my dealer and he made an appointment to have a new pulley installed. Have this ever happened to any of you guys? Thanks

i have something similar on my 05 mcs, my dealer said to let it break in, at 60 miles it was horrendously loud, now at 1000 I barely ever hear it. Still going to take it in to get looked at, but I've been too lazy
It wasn't the pulley, it was the blower in the supercharger so I have to wait a week or so as those parts are in short supply. My question is, are they in short supply beacuse it is a common occurance or a very rare one?
I got word from my dealer (Braman Miami) that there is a 3-4 week wait for the parts. I can pick up the car and drive it until they arrive. He also mentioned that there are others in a similar situation. Has anybody else experienced this?
