Engine rattle

[XjShake]

Ok so u have a 4.0 i6 and recently my serpentine belt got messed up somehow so I replaced it and now it makes a weird rattling noise. It sounds like some small aluminum tubing being rolled together. I have chased it to this pulley that feels loose but I'm not sure what pulley it is or how to tighten it up.. Thanx for the help. Oh it's the one in the middle of the engine

Ok first off this pulley needs to be replaced its bent both on outside and on inside see arrows

also notice the fraying on the serpentine belt that should be replaced also
as for loosening or tightening the belt there is an adjuster behind the power steering pump

That pulley is your waterpump. Make sure bolts are tight. If pulley is loose. Waterpump is shot.

Ok.. Thanx guys... Thats what I was doing when I took the pic.. I just didn't know what that pulley is... I like the red arrows

Another question... Does the water pump usually come with the pulley? The auto zone app I have doesn't show the pulley... Is it a b word to change

 

[Jester32]

Sorry didn't see the arrows that's the p/s pump.
