new coolant too? beings tho the rad will be taken out? thats 40 quid right there too

 

No need to remove the rad to do the crank pulley.

 

I took the viscous fan off just to get some more room. Once thats out the way, there is plenty of room to do the crank pulley. :)

Happened to me also, thankfully I spotted it in time, it's quite common. The stock one is recommended which is what I bought but there is debate about aftermarket ones not being weighted or dampened properly (cheap ones I mean). But there are other people running them quite happily. Hard to know what to do, a solid one you could be fairly sure wouldnt break whereas the stock one you know eventually will regardless.

Yep, they all have the same bonded together crank pulley but some will last longer than

others.

I changed mine purely as a precaution because it had done 125k miles and was 17 yrs old

but it appeared to be fine.

 

God move ! now you don´t have to worry about this problem :D

Chris Wilson on here had one that had only done a few hundred miles and it was

1/3 of the price that Toyota want so i grabbed a bargin and fitted it :)

 

Worst case senario of these failing can leave you with serious damage, someone

on here had to replace their oil pump if i remember correctly due to the metal outer

ring of the crank pulley hitting it when it flew off.
