EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! I looked all over to find how to test the OAP or ADP, then I found your video. You showed how to test and replace and then test the new installed part. Thank you!!!

Thank you bro. I almost spent a lot of money. Your video is definitely better than a lot here on KZfaq because you addressed all faulty possibilities on the pulley. Awesome. 🖒🖒🖒

Legend, thanks for the thorough explanation. My aux belt has decided to shred a bit off, replacing belt, tensioner and this pulley to make sure everything is healthy and it won't happen again soon

This video was very useful, the pulley was jammed and after replacing the power steering juddering problem has all been resolved. Thank you very much.

Great video !! I replaced the pulley the first time but paid the mechanic $20 to swap it out as I brought him the alternator and pulley. I was happy. This time... I bought the tool and the pulley. Video is great and so true about the noise that is made when the pulley is bad. The first time I thought my tensioner was bad as you stated. LOL Thanks again.

Thankyou Very Much for this video! Thanks to you I've just replaced the clutch pulley on my wife's ford Galaxy. In our case the pulley fell off!!! Thankfully she was only doing 10mph at the time. I had to angle grind off the remainder of the old pulley shaft before I could fit the new. Tanks a million ;-)

Great video Mike. Was about to order a new power sterring pump as I assumed wrongly that was the culprit. Symptoms you describe (noisy rattle accompanied with flapping belt) match exactly what I'm hearing on my 2001 TDI passat. Its also done 73,000 which seems to align with the espected service life of the alternator pulley. Will be ordering a new pulley and pulley removal tool off interent. Thanks again.

Po obejzeniu twojego wyjasnienia doszedlem do wniosku ze mozna to naprawic wymieniajac tylko pullej na nowy a nie caly alternator. Bo mysle ze to bylo przyczyna choinki na desce rozdzielczej :) Thank you for your help mate

We had (nearly?) frozen pulley and it resulted in belt flapping and pulley breaking down. Luckily it stayed in place tilted and the belt dropped from the tensioner and didn't break anything. The tensioner was able to keep the belt strict enough to not cause noise, though. Of course, I didn't know that the belt flapping was a clear sign for frozen pulley. After replacing the alternator the belt goes smoothly so the tensioner didn't get damaged.

@WestronicsIrl 11 жыл бұрын

Hello mate, Your alternator is a popular denso type and it has a clutch pulley. Noise that you are talking about can be caused by either the clutch pulely or the bearings in the alternator. Both of them are easy to check,just take the belt of the alternator and give it a spin with your hand. That should give you a fair idea are the bearings quiet,if they are it means that it has to be the clutch pulley.

Hello there, If you have a Valeo alternator it could be it,windings in the rotor use to go in them and that will cause the engine to shake badly. But there is a plethora of different things that can also cause it,worn engine mounts,worn crankshaft rubber pulley etc.
