worn crank pulley bearings... maybe

hey guys

 

Im having quite a noticeable moaning/rubbing noise coming from my pulleys. The belt is pretty tight so no issues with loose belt.

 

its only started happening the last couple of days as the weathers got colder, if thats got anything to do with it, but it sounds like its coming from the (looking at the engine) right side pulley, the one with the gaps in the middle.

 

is this the crank pulley ? iv read alot of people on here have had the pulley brake on them.

 

can anybody describe the issues they had before their pulley went?

 

any help would be a massive bonus as i'd rather not be driving and hear a bang :D

p.s. i now know there are no bearings in the crank puley :-)

Cheers for the advice guys, will be doing all fluid changes on sunday.

 

so will bleed the system proper and then replace belt and go from there, although i did just top up the fluid and started the engine and the noise had dyed down alot.

 

might just need a good bleed out :) on another note, can anybody tell me why it makes noises when there isnt enough fluid in the reservoir. would be good to know for future reference.
