Evening all,
Had a new idler pulley fitted to my car today, and I've noticed a lot more vibration through the wheel and seats, and since then I've noticed a rattling coming from the manifold region. Now I understand that the vibration may be due to fully polybushed front and rear suspension, and that the top engine mount has just been done up by air gun instead of by hand (which I used to have done until today).
It could also be worth noting that the engine was lifted from its top drivers side mount by jacking it up with a block of wood under the sump.
Is the pulley likely to vibrate for a while until it becomes bedded in?
Is a manifold gasket likely at fault for the tapping noise etc?
Cheers
