Ok, so Ive been living with it for a few months now... A chirping noise as I plant my foot at around 2500-4000rpm.
Replaced the Serp belt (aux) and its still happening... Wobbled the pulleys and they seem to have quite a bit of play so its obviously the bearings.

Now I'm not one to scrimp and save, but my dad has just repaired his friends washer/dryer as it was making a grinding noise. He contacted Hotpoint who wanted £55 for the center bearing and housing.... he got the part number of the bearing, went on ebay... £3.50 and now its as good as new.

So does anyone know the size or have a part number of the bearings that are used in the tensioner and idler pulleys? Or has someone done a DIY bearing change themselves?


I have a hydraulic press etc for getting the bearings out so its not a problem on that side of things.


Thanks in advance,

Liam.

I like your thinking, might be worth asking on the main forum.

I dont know what the bearings are but when you start looking try http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/ good for any type of bearing you can think of.

If you find out what they are off the forum can you keep this updated as i need to do the same.

Is this for the belt tensioner pulley, if so I'd be interested in the part number also

I'm not sure where I got the info from but I have a bearing spec in my "useful car notes" of:

"6203 double sealed, high speed"


Might give you something to search on at least

TonyDay90

Ben, is that for the pulley? or is just in your car notes as a random bearing, that may or may not be for the pulley?

LiamR

Yes, its for both the tensioner and idler pulley.

Not sure if its the same bearing or different ones.

I will take a look and see if I can find it out

If worst comes to worst, Ill take the pulleys off and take them into a bearing shop

I found this

http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/6203-2R...earing-11494-p

17x40x12 is the measurement on there.

Anyone got one to hand that they can measure?

LiamR

Ok, after some digging using Bens bearing number, I have found the correct bearing..

The tensioner pulley bearing is a 6203LHX3.

Hope this helps people

Have you ordered one Liam? let me know how you get on please.

The thread has moved on a little but yep for the tensioner pulley - not random listing of bearing
