What's this pulley on my dci

[chris101]

Hi guys I'm just after some advice as usual lol, I took the car out today for a run and all of a sudden it started making crunching noises as the revs increased, I took the car straight home and noticed one of the bearings on the pulley have gone, I've searched eBay but they all seem different. Just wondering what this part is called and if anyone has links to the part I need the bearings on the big black pulley to the left is the one that's gone

Also is it an easy job to fit a new one, btw the cars a 2004 plate dci 100 thanks all - Chris

It's an idler. Only there to keep the belt running correctly as you have no air con.

Give Adam @ Renault Wolverhampton a ring. Kangoo/DCI aircon delete pully. He'll know what it is.

​id be more spending time finding where the oil I can see is coming from

Aerosol degrease the f**k out of everything lol

dont think the part is that expensive. Altho I think its two different parts, the bracket is one and the wheel/pully is another.

​how come your changing it?

Haha yeah I'll get around to degreasing it when I sort this lol,

well I was driving it yesterday and noticed it was making a real strange clunking noise as the revs increased, so when I got home I jacked her up and started her and you can see the pully itself is wobbling real bad, I then shut the engine off and you can move the pulley side to side so I think the bearings have one on it, hopefully I'll just need the pulley wheel then lol

Ok so just got this part off and it was a nightmare, turns out its the bearing on the pulley that has gone, I rang the dealer earlier and the part is £111, you can't just buy the pulley you have to have the bracket as well

​also had a dilemma earlier went to start the car to move it on the drive and the thing would turn over, after about and hour of head scratching and tracing earths turns out the starter relay had corroded quick clean and jobs a good un, bloody french lol, so cars stripped ready to order new bits now
