For all you 3L V6 owners

Post by meminiau »

Hi there,

A long time ago I asked here about the idler pulleys that tension the belt for the alternator, etc.

Someone replied and stated that they thought that the air con pulley from an EA falcon would work, so long as it has a spacer behind it.

Well.... today after many many months of putting up with the noise, I replaced one of them. Though the falcon part wouldn't work. It is similar to the mitsu part, but the centre diameter is too large.

Anyways, I didn't get that part, but instead got a Hyundai part which is the same, but half the price as the correct part. If anyone wants the part number, let me know.

Now though, I have another noise, which is pretty much the same as the one I was trying to stop. Could it be my waterpump? Am I able to pump some grease into it?

no you cant put grease in the water pump,there is a hole in the top near the pulley i dont know what its there for but maybe some wd40 in there mite help,if you are going to all the trouble and effort to get to the water pump to put grease/wd40 in it you mite as well change the bugger.
What is the part number for that pully????

Dont think wd40 would be a good idear. Will only thin out any lub still in it.
Sure the noise isn't just the belt ?
I thought my pullies were stuffed, turned out to be the belt.

Experience is something you don't get, until just after you need it.

Had a similar problem/noise a week or so ago, & it turned out to be the power steering pump, even though it still worked fine. Still expensive to replace, but not as much as a new water pump.

Cheers

I continue to have squeaking noises coming from my air-con pump when it is engaged. However spraying a nice amount of CRC on it keeps it quiet for a couple of weeks.

The details

Post by meminiau »

Hi

Sorry for taking so long to do this...

The part was bought from Pep Parts
It's made by Partech and is listed as a Timeing Belt Tensioner.
The part number on the box is PBT90
It does actually say on the box that it is for a Hyundai + Mitsubishi

If the number is wrong, let me know. I still have the box, which does have some more numbers, but I think the one quoted is correct
