Rumble And Vibration - VW Transporter T5 - Lets Fix It

Recently started having an issue with something in the engine bay.
Initially it sounded like a bearing on the auxiliary belt so I set about replacing as much as I could to try and solve the issue.
however after replacing everything I could think of the noise still remained.
After a chance conversation with a mechanic at my local MOT station he gave me the clue I needed to figure out how to solve my problem.
sure enough, the problem has now gone and I have fallen back in love with driving my transporter again.
Hope you guys like the video!
Much Love
Tom

Also had issues with the air con due to issues with the alernator pulley too - amazing how much of these things are all connected!

Crazy the effect that one small part can have on the entire vehicle!

[@nonDyslexickid]

Very informative video! I have the same symptoms, has your van stall or had rough start because of that?

[@TeeeTV]

Thank you! I do recall it being quite ‘stally’ but don’t remember a starting issue, I just remember the sound and vibration making me think it was a very serious issue

I just had mine in with that problem today😊

[@TeeeTV]

I think it’s actually very common but somehow I’d never heard of it before 🤷🏼‍♂️ hope you’ve got yours fixed now!

Hi man, snap on the symptoms. I've got a 1.9 PD130, don't suppose you know if its the same thing for the different motos? I was thinking power steering pump/master cylinder, but, this seems like a better place to start. Cheers

[@TeeeTV]

It’s the exact same thing for different motors mate, across all brands too, as long as you’ve got that alternator spline tool and an impact gun it’s pretty straight forward too

[@calmac643]

@@TeeeTV nice one thanks ma man. I'm set for doing wheel bearings soon so I'll give it a bash then as well. Spot on cheers 🙏

Hi, same issue here. Please do you know the part number? Thanks, Adam.

Hey Adam, I’m not sure VW sell the pulley on its own but this is the one I bought 050401-BFCGC-AFG it’s a febi bilstein so it’s a good quality part, it’s been fitted to my van for months now with absolutely no issue
