Z19DTH Crankshaft Damper Pulley Noise - Astra H

[@ВикторВълчев-р5щ]

I Have weird knocking sound around 1800 to 2200 RPM, so I hope this damper pulley may be the trouble maker. (my car is astra J 1.7CDTI A17DTR)

[@maclow5211]

Not yet heard that sound on mine but thanks for the sharing 👍

[@kevinkelleher8805]

Same on my explorer

[@pauljhlmcnab5468]

I'll be doing mine tomorrow , its completely separated 😬. Did you need two people to release the tention whilst you put the new pulley on ? Great video . Thank you

[@icku]

Nope, you just need a spanner and a lever attached to it and the tentioner pulley is ease to release.

[@pauljhlmcnab5468]

@@icku thank you , I'm starting mine now 👍

[@michaelwilson4737]

Can the damper pulley completely fail, I think I have the same issue on an A20DTR engine in my Saab ttid

[@icku]

Yes it can. If its the old model like the one I'm replacing in the video it could fell out in parts

[@user-po9sg3ks4p]

What is a damper pulley ?

[@minisla]

Does it tend to happen on cold starts...

[@icku]

Its not weather relater.

[@user-po9sg3ks4p]

Is the pulley hard to change

[@icku]

Not that much. But you need tools.

350’000 km still original alive!

[@MegaAmas123]

Change it for Pulley with number 55564573, it doesnt fail. I've did that on my z19dth, no ratling noise anymore!

[@icku]

Happy to hear it.
