Hi guys;

My air con pulley was making noise according to my mechanic - he didn't seem confident in being able to pinpoint the exact name / type of the pulley - I've taken the belt off to get rid of the noise in the mean time...

Can someone please tell me which pulley I need and whether its worthwhile getting a new one or just speak to wreckers? Couple of 36 degree days coming up so thought I'd fix this :D

Thanks guys

some aircon compressors can't have the pulley removed (or at least not to a point where you can get to the bearing). the best thing to do would be to talk to an aircon specialist. they will be able to look at the compressor and tell you whether it can be fixed/replaced or not.

also wd40 is one of the worst lubricants on the face of the planet. it should only be used for lubing up things like door hinges, and kept away from anything that has high load or speeds.

Have you or your mechanic actually isolated the exact source of the noise eg by placing a wooden dowel (carefully) between your ear and the spindle and other likely spots? Wood tends to work better than plastic/metal of a screwdriver.

*Edit* actually - coming to think of it, he did say it could be the idler pulley (I think) - can you get this thing new from the dealer or do I need to scour the wreckers? And by any chance, has anyone had the luxury of replacing it, easy? :D

Id be saying its your idler pulley, the bearing has probably wasted. Happened to mine could see it wobbling if looking close at it and yeah easy just get a new 1 from wreckers and check for play in the bearing, Or if it actually is your pulley on the compressor I got a compressor I removed off my 33 can have it for 10bux.

    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
