Odd Noise...

[highwayman306]

I hope it's not the bloody pulley, it had a genuine one about  a year after I bought it, it's only been ~4 years and ~40k since then!

'Only' 40k on a crank pulley?  I'd say you're pushing your luck there.

I second that, so definitely give it a check mate, its easy and takes 20mins to undo and redo and it wouldn't hurt... maybe a couple of knuckles

Definitely try taking the aux belt off and run it i found my eccentric/manual tensioner was fubar. The bearings were shot and i thought it was crankshaft pulley. Its worth a look ECP sell them for £41 for the tensioner and £45 for the crankshaft pulley...

hope that helps good luck

EDIT - Forgot to mention auto-tensioner could be needing a replacement too (£31 ECP), mines making a ticking noise and have already changed the belt, crankshaft pulley and manual tensioner, so I've been a bit foolish really, you gotta be mad not to replace that...but could only afford the more 'important' parts for now lol
