ballsdeep Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm having a head scratching moment, basically I bought a nearly new whifbitz aux tensioner pulley off a tt6 to fix what I believed to be a failed bearing noise? (The second vid I didn't realise I was recording but you can clearly hear the noise go when I spray wd40 onto the tensioner unit) http://youtu.be/iG3gtWhKiZw http://youtu.be/b7M6eoT4Vig But after replacing it although it got quieter the screeching as well as the clicking is still there, it gets louder the higher the rpm but does almost go once warm . Could it be the tensioner arm at fault? Iv searched but can't find any examples of it failing? Also what's throwing me is weather I should be using the 2 large washers with the whifbitz pulley..?

Chris Wilson Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Some makes of belt exhibit this. Also *MANY* makes of belt do it on the fancy alloy pulleys some people fit. Try a Gates belt, they seem to sometimes fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Ordered a new gates belt and also a spare tensioner arm just to be sure! Any input on the 2 oem washers do I need to use the rear one on the whifbitz pulley or fit without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
