Hi All, I have a UK Spec. Grand Voyager 3.3L auto which has just reached 70,000 miles. Today when I started the engine I noticed a rattle/whining noise from the right hand side of the engine. It sounds like the bearings have gone on one of the pullies? I have removed the wheel and splash guard and it seems to be comming from the Crankshaft or vibration damper. could this be the problem and is it a common thing?

 

Hi
No not a common thing more likely the auto tensioner or idler pulley.

 

nothing a little WD-40 cant fix but a bit of helpful advice when u spray it do not stand beside the engine but rather infront of it my brother got an eyefull of WD-40 spraying it from the side while it was running before
