Very loud rattle on my HDi - Dan1292 - 14-11-2012

I've literally just bought a HDI as a run around car. And now it's making a very very loud rattling noise. Like plastic in a washing machine on a fast spin It does it constantly, worse when I accelerate. The noise is coming from the cam belt area and apparently it could be the crankshaft pulley? or the crankshaft damper pulley? Anyone had this before? I don't know what to do. Any help would be great!

Could be the crank pulley or one of the tensioners on the aux belt, mine was the auto adjuster one, no biggie really!
Tbh I'd buy a aux belt and tensioner kit and do it all at once!

I'd say pulley I had same problem.
Best thing to do is run your
Engine and listen inside your cam belt cover by hold a screw driver to the plastic and put it to your ear. Sounds daft but has helped me a lot!

Second I'd do is jack the car up and look at the aux belt from side view. When I had the problem looked at the pulley and you could tell straight away it was that.

Look at the pulley, it will be obviously knackered as the inner and outer probably aren't truly concentric any more.

Isn't the 307 one meant to be a better replacement or something?
