had an issue i thought with the aircon compressor when switched on sounded like a bearing gone. got local mechanic to check it out, he stated he thought the aircon compressor was gone as when switched on noise started.
As a new one is about $800 aud got one from a breakers for $250, mechanic fitted it then rings me and said the noise is still there and they found it was the harmonic balancer (crank pulley).
Never heard of a kv6 crank pulley going.
Hard to find a kv6 harmonic balancer over here.
Stupid money over here ($800) so just bought one from Dmgr for a decent price.
Hope their freight times are decent to Australia as the cars left at the mechanics.
The car is starting to cost big bucks !!
