Title: Anyone know where I can get a replacement harmonic balancer?
Post by: Turbofan on April 23, 2009, 12:34:09 pm

Mine is bent (I think), and you can tell when looking at it while the engine is running. My harmonic balancer's got more moves than James Brown did! I've seen a lot of other engines in need to, but apparently no one has them. I swear I can feel the shimmy when under load. Anyone know where I can find one? Bueller? Bueller?

I've got a N/A 1.6. ME code...

Please put your location in your profile and someone may be able to give you a geographically-relevant suggestion. ;-)

No worries... we just sometimes forget that this forum is full of folks from all over the world... one of the great things about it, actually.

N/A's had a balancer? Three of the na engines I have just have a stamped steel pulley. The TDs I have are equiped with the balancer. Can someone enlighten me?

Yeah I thought the vw diesel was one of 3 or 4 engines that did not have a harmonic balancer, but the crank pulley was called one in one of my manuals.
