E90 Crank pulley

Hi guys. I own a 2011 E90 320i fl. I have been struggling for the last 3 months to get hold of a crank pulley/damper pulley.
Does anyone have any idea where I would be able to find one besides the dealerships?

What's the quality of the GW damper seem like?
I'm thinking of doing mine as preventative maintenance. Many have suggested to just stick with an original BMW unit. I've had a look online and was thinking of bringing in a Corteco which I think is the company that manufactures them for BMW in any case?

I am not sure if they guy knew what he was saying, but when I called 2 days ago, he said it is the original, I kept asking what make and he kept saying its the original oem one, price was R3650

Goldwagen in the whole of Gauteng has no stock. Current price R3850. That's one item I am not willing to sub for a secondhand one.


Don't know where else to go?

I called the one in Randburg, but I guess its different to my car, 330D

I am going to Durban and back on the 2nd, if you wanna try Golswagen in Durban I can get it for you there and you can collect it on the 2nd from me,

Corteco was the make of the pulley i got from Goldwagen in Bellville this year Feb. (I first typed last year Feb then realized it is only December 2017 and not Jan 2018). Just make sure the pulley is not out of round as what happened to my son's car, a E46 320d. Belt must run nice and quiet and the tensioner pulley must stay in same position and not adjust all the time. Check my previous threads for all the trouble we had with the out of round pulley!!

Just remember one thing, when replacing a vibration dampener never start the car with out its belts on the pulleys. As it will hurt the rubber on the vibration dampener. :thumbs:
 
Hi guys. Finally got around to fit the new crank pulley. The chattering i have mentioned before is a lot quieter...But its still there. I suspect the aircon pulley that runs on its own clutch system, while the ac is off the noise is present. The moment i turn the ac on, the noice is gone. Can it be that the bearing on the ac has gone and that's whats causing the last bit of noise? Also without replacing the whole ac unit, can i only change the bearing?
