Hi to all !!. I'm new to the forum. I've had a rattling sound from enginebay for a while, I had a look under bonnet and checked for play on outer belt as I was looking I noticed that the tensioner was flickering back and forth , turned it off and felt for play on pulley on power steering pump, which had play back and forth and a bit of a wobble. Then I got down under the front end and tested the crank pulley for play . And believe me it was on its way out !! . The rubber had started to perish and break up !! So the only thing to do was get to it all sorted ASAP. So on phone new V grove belt- new power steering pump, and Crank pulley . All sorted no noise no clattering , and thanks to a good Bloke he did it in 3hrs . I know the parts are not cheap but I feel I should share the experience with you all .
As before I did all this a reputable garage told me it maybe the Crank .?? Oh well it does pay to check out yourself .
Thanks and hope it helps

Welcome to the forum mate.
Glad you sorted it before you got a major bill.
Could you put your vehicle details in your signature please, saves everyone asking if you need help.

Cheers
Andy

Hi,I'm a newbie also having purchased mine last week , lt35e, 2.4 diesel, I also have a rattle which a after a quick look found the power steering pulley to have a lot of play, it looks a real pain to try to get to and get out !
