b/pulley

OK I'll bite. WTF is a b/pulley?? Is it the one in the middle of the a/pulley and the c/pulley?

I'd love to know what a b/pulley is too!

I think Chris means "bloody" pulley. It is the crankshaft pulley and after a while the rubber bonding starts to separate. In answer to Chris's question, mine went at around 115,000 miles so his has probably been done at least once before (I seem to remember your 405 is notching up a quarter of a million).

Yep it is a pain. all noise only first thing in the day.only lasts about 10-15 secs, then its gone.got 256.897 on clock now and has not lost any power due to this pulley.so going to europarts at chertsey to find out price,or has anybody got i idea?

Look it up on line?

Ah right, thanks for the feedback. Does my 2003 HDi have one?

Just don't go to Peugeot. They charge £120 for the 406 one and yours is probably the same.

Heard today that Daewoo have a similar set up and theirs are £300.

You will get it much cheaper from Euro Parts, GSF or one of those companies.

Probably, I believe they are standard on the HDi engines. If it goes, you start to get a rattle from the off side front. I thought my exhaust was working loose at first. My repairer said that when he revved the engine and shone a torch down, he could see tiny slivers of metal flying off.

Your 2003 HDI will have the earlier type, as fitted to the old XUDs. The type which falls apart was only fitted to the earlier HDIs AFAIK. My wife's

They do make a lot of noise when they go. Ours had a thin steel band hanging out of it.

Presumably then, Chris's, being a 405, has the earlier type as well?
