Strange noise (Vid Inc)

[James.f]

Finally got the car running properly now after some smoke appeard, that was sorted with a new manifold gasket, but now theres a strange noise:

Im thinking a pulley is on its way out, but cant be sure, its like a rattling noise ish..

Any suggestions?

bottom pulley roller???? or alternator bearings

take the aux belt off and see if it stops, if it does manually spin each pully and see which one is noisy.

Will check tommorow guys

I though from all the reading on here that it would be a dephaser pulley, just hope its the Aux pulley, how much would that be to replace tho, obviously il fit it myself

put a screw driver on or near any pulleys and stick your earhole on the other end the noise should travel up the screwdriver then you have found you problem.
