Pulley Noise??
I have previously thought that my inlet manifold was the cause of my rattling that I was getting but a friend of mine recently said it sounded like it was coming from the top pulley (the one on show right next to the engine stabiliser bush).
So I went out for a little listen today when car was cold and I think he's right, and also it appears to be wobbling ever so slightly. The strange thing is tho as the car warms up the noise decreases! What can this be? I am a little concerned with this discovery. Am I right to be cos if it turns out to be really expensive to sort i may have to get rid as it wont be worth it compared to the value of the car! Any info please guys?? I will post a pic of the offender asap! |

That's the culprit!! I can't for some reason upload to my Photobucket or Picassa account that's why the link for FB is there. |
Power steering pulley I think, is the fluid level up to max.

I know this will sound thick Pete but are you talking about the swirl pot level? If so that is just under the full mark.
|
Yes thats the power steering pulley. The one next to it is the alternator and the one below the both of them in the tensioner.
|
Ok so is this a relatively easy fix?
|
And is it anything to be concerned over?

I am having the same problem at first I thought it was something behind the dash so your problem has shed a little light on mine, now I'm not sure if the pulley can be replaced but I would imagine its the bearings on the pulley worst cased scenario is a new pump
