JB0702 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hello, I have noticed a really weird light knocking and whiningish noise from the left of the engine. I did some research and I think it is a crankshaft pulley going bad since the noise is very similar to the video below. The noise is constant when idle and when I accelerate, it gets faster. I have ordered febi crankshaft pulley and a flywheel locking tool ( Laser 4275) I thought since the cambelt and water pump have been replaced, I don't think I needed to get a timing tool kit? So the procedure I have in mind is 1. Get the drive belt off from the engine 2. take the starter motor out and lock the flywheel. 3. remove the crank pully and install a new one with new bolt. 4. remove the flywheel lock and put the belt back on. Is there any other step I need to keep in mind? my car is 2009 MK7 fiesta with 1.4 SPJA Engine. Oh and anyone know the torque spec for the crank bolt? Hopefully this will be a straight forward job. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
