carl0s Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 http://www2.css-networks.com/belt.jpg can anybody tell me if the belt is meant to be going round that pulley? Because it's actually in the collar inside of that pulley. I'm in tescos carpark and my car as started making a loud squeaking noise which Chris Wilson says sounds definately like the belt slipping probably caused by one of the things ceasing. But looking in the bay i can see the belt isn't going round that pulley, although the pulley seems to be too far out anyway. If anyone could txt-message me or ring me on 07766 087 677 with the answer I'D appreciate that, as I'm in tescos carpark using my mobile phone (9.6kbps GSM) to post this and it's sooooooo slow!

SilverMachine Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 CarlOs has been sorted by CW. Bottom pulley is out of alignment and CarlOs is waiting for a socket set to put it right. He's asked me to post this on his behalf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 SilverMachine you're a star. Thanks very much for ringing me to let me know and thanks Chris for the diagnosis. I just hope there's a simple reason why that pulley is out of alignment. I've been towed home now and am about to go spannery on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewizzy Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Is this the crank pulley? Its a possiblility that the outside has sheared away from the inside if its like that, Neen reading on here thats it quite a common problem if you have an older car and if the pulley has ever been heated up to undo the crank pulley bolt....remember, its only held together with rubber and some vinegar and brown paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 it's looking that way! can i just glue / loctite the bastard back on? It feels like a tight press-fit so I should hope it would be okay. My belt was actually running around the rubber !! the pulley was on it's way to flying off inside the engine bay :o eek. does this thing spin at full engine RPM? http://www2.css-networks.com/pulley/1.jpg http://www2.css-networks.com/pulley/2.jpg http://www2.css-networks.com/pulley/3.jpg http://www2.css-networks.com/pulley/4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 It needs a new damper pulley assembly. You most definitely can NOT just Loctite it back on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 pulley ordered at a cost of £177 + vat -"a bit of a discount" (probably a measely 10%) so perhaps £160+vat. My next visit after Tescos was going to be one of my suppliers to buy a network IP Camera for £140 + vat to have a play with. So glad I didn't buy that now!!

Ark Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 That seems to be happening a lot recently - mine went a couple of months ago, and I was quoted around £500 for a new pulley! Got a second-hand one for the kind of price you mentioned here. Actually, count yourself lucky - when mine went, it took the fan with it too!
