pulley

Dont all say at last. i have got the pulley. £77.43 plus vat and it
came from a pug garage, cant be bad ? all i got to do now is fit it
have made my self a puller just incase it dont fall off.so i am very
happy its about time hahahahaha catch you all later with up date.

 

I was talking to my repairer the other day and he tells me that GSF have now
brought out the option of a solid, rather than rubber bonded, pulley for the
406HDI.

 

Keith what about the 405's??

 

He didn't say, you will have to ask them. I mentioned yours to him and he
was surprised because he had not heard of 405s having that problem.
However, when I told him yours had done 250,000+ miles he reckoned it was
entitled to give up on a wear and tear basis.

It seems that the problem is normally only experienced with early 406 HDI
engines. Petrol, turbo diesel and later HDIs have a different design (as do
405s).

 

Well Keith iam going todo the job on sat or sun as i have other things
to do this week,should only take about 1.5 hrs if all gos well.i will
let you know.

 

Rather you than me. Keep me posted. Incidentally, my hybrid 406 broke a
coil spring last week. It was sitting in the car park of Sunbury Manor
School (where I am a governor) and the head's PA heard what she thought was
somebody slamming a car bonnet, but when she looked there was nobody around.
What she heard was my offside front coil spring bisecting itself. It was
when my Mr Fixit was repairing it that he told me about the new solid
pulleys.

I cant wait to do this pulley as it been getting worse with noise,got a
cord-less drill to undo the bolt, person said it will undo it with no
problem,(i wait and see)dont fancy pulling around with big bar or
useing a big hammer hitting the bar with socket,

 

Let us know how you get on.
