100,000k service - which mechanic recs to choose? 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be SLong on  Tue Jun 10 05:10 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Forgot to address the crankshaft pulley. Did your mechanic inspect it to determine that it needs replacement? It is expensive. The rubber inserts in them do go bad, but I wouldn't say that this is a necessary item if the one you have looks OK and you are concerned about the cost. Despite what I just said in my previous post, you might mention to him that you can get a new one from fcpgroton.com for $65. One way to test if the pulley is going bad is to draw a line accross the top and see if the individual pullies shift over time (a couple of days/weeks of driving).
