akapjay 39 Report post Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) Unfortunately lost crankshaft pulley today, but stopped the car as soon as battery light popped up on the dash to diagnose and saved her before overheating! I haven't found any new pulleys available via local channels, and this close to Christmas I don't expect to land anything in from overseas until next year so I'm putting this out there on the very rare chance someone has a replacement harmonic balancer/crankshaft pulley kicking about. Belt Drive-Vibration Damper: 11237800385 (click for realoem) New or used ok to get up and running in the short term. Thanks, PJ Edited December 20, 2023 by akapjay All sussed now - cheers!

Palazzo 429 Report post Posted December 18, 2023 Spareto says €350 delivered. Says it will be here in 4 days and they are normally pretty accurate. Although factor in Nz incompetence at this time of year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 429 Report post Posted December 18, 2023 Yeah, I sent an overnight package to Wellington that arrived after 6 days. Spareto does use DHL and they have been pretty accurate in the past, including Sunday deliveries. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3193 Report post Posted December 18, 2023 Had a similar damper issue with the E46 320d - lots of vibration that quickly got worse. Fortunately I was close to my favoured workshop at the time and got the car there without any separation occurring. The bolt that holds this on is *TIGHT*. On shipping - bought 4 tyres for the Mrs M-mobile from New Plymouth yesterday afternoon at 3.30. They've arrived in Hawke's Bay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bought new v-belt, thermostat, waterpump, and crankshaft pulley for less than €350. Febi, Meyle and GT Automotive (trusted UK brand).. Though to be fair, I did save a bunch on shipping as a mate is flying soon from the UK to NZ! 😄 Merry Christmas to the N57, may she live on another 200k kms! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 429 Report post Posted December 20, 2023 That’s pretty good, shipping was only €70 from memory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
