I've just changed my crankshaft pulley today as well! I was getting belt squeal even though the belts were only on 2500 miles and tensioned correct.
However..... the old pulley I removed doesn't look that bad, there's no clear sign of it splitting, the alternator, Ps pump and air-con pulleys are all turning free, as is the water pump. The numpty in the motor factors gave me the 2 wrong belts so I can't get the car running again until tomorrow evening after I get the correct belts. I'm really hoping that my belt squeal issues will be resolved.
i had that kind of problem once could not see any thing wrong with the pulley,s they were all free inn the end it turned out to be the alternator bearing going stiff once it got going put on a second hand one i had lying about and bingo sorted
I have an other alternator here, my mate refurbs alternators and starters for a living, I might just leave this spare alternator in with him to give it a once over.
Best case is simply worn out belts after that its one of the rotating ancillaries is starting to fail, air conditioning, alternator, power steering pump, water pump or the tensioner. Then finally it is the main crank pulley delaminating. Which ever it is it needs attention.
