2.5 KV6 Crankshaft Pulley - thoughts on changing it
I'm doing a timing belt on a KV6. Here's some photos of the crankshaft pulley, the rubber looks like it's starting to deteriorate.
Would you replace it? One the one hand, yes, it is showing its age. On the other hand, replacement parts, particularly those made from rubber, just don't seem to last like the original factory items.

Is the KV6 pulley the same as the four cylinder one?

Hi Dave,
I've had a look and they do appear to be different part numbers.

Im sure that there are many out there similar doing a good job still. If mine i would replace it anyway ,as i hate revisiting jobs. Most get small cracks in the rubbers after time,but seem to outlive the diesel versions . I think i saw them on DMGRS site not long back ...
