Crankshaft Pulley/Harmonic Dampers

Postby MinorMatt » Sun Oct 13, 2024 8:55 pm

Ok... so the one on my mk7 2.4 van hasn't failed (yet) - but its definately on the way.

I see people say to fit the solid mk6 damper. Is that accepted as good practice or should I find a good (read more expensive :lol: ) mk7 one?

My sister is borrowing the van for a few months and I don't want it to fail on her....

They're actually not solid but have thin bit of rubber and that's the one I'd be fitting and have fitted with no problems, even the more expensive rubber ones don't last that long, last rubber one I fitted was a Dayco and expensive and don't think I got a year out of it, bought a used(£18 ebay) solid to see how long it would last and if it would make any difference, lasted long time and no issues

I actually bought a cheap fleabay one for my 2008 Mk7 RWD about a month after I bought the van in 2014...the original pulley fell off in my driveway one morning when I was about to leave for work...

The "cheap" fleabay one is still there today...so it has lasted 10 years, longer than the OEM Ford one :? But yes, get the Mk6 pulley as our Andz says.

The bolts are actually a different part number..But they both use three 12mm thread x 80mm length with a 15mm hex head.

I had worked that out - but do you use the right bolt for the pulley, or the crankshaft? I have guessed that the mk7 bolts will be fine :)

Cranks will be the same and where the pulleys live on the crank is the same...maybe they're just a discontinued bolt and has been replaced with a new part number...?? :?

Well mk6 pulley fitted with early mk7 bolts....

It will probably last another 100,000 miles, but my sister is borrowing it for a bit and its sods law it would go when she is 300 miles from home!

Well exactly. Who knows how long it will last? But removed before failure is what counts!
