    Harmonic Balancer.

    Evening folks.
    Tonight I was reading through some of the documentation supplied by the previous owner and I picked up on something that I'd missed.
    According to the paperwork, about 1000km before I took owner ship of the vehicle it had the harmonic balancer replaced (at considerable cost as you know) along with the usual belts for a vehicle with 210000kms.

    Hooray.
    BUT
    I've recently noticed the squeak on shutdown, which our friend over in England Urban Panzer describes as a warning of the harmonic balancer being on it's way out.
    So my question is, have I got a dodgy, $1000+ harmonic balancer after 20000kms, or is there something else that creates a squeak right on shutdown?
    Cheers

    I've also traced that squeak on shut down to a belt tensioner failing. If you haven't replaced one in 211,000km then it should be done. Buy Genuine / OEM they aren't that $$$$.

    Should probably rub out the original owners name and address in all fairness.
