Hi Guys,
Thought I would share my recent experiences with the coupe and give you a little how to on replacing the auxiliary drive belt and crankshaft pulley on the Hdi.
Recently I have been hearing a ticking sound coming from the drivers side of the engine (and no its not meant to sound like that for you Hdi haters ). I had a look down the side and did not see anything obvious but I did notice alot of metallic dust / debris down the side of the engine. On top of that the Aux drive belt tensioner pulley looked a little worn. I have read on this forum that the crank pulley can be a source of this noise and debris and as the noise was getting progressively worse decided to have a go at replacing it myself. For info my coupe has done just shy of 130K miles at this point. Some pics / video to illustrate what I saw / heard.
Noisy pulley
Worn tensioner + metallic dust
The procedure to replace the pulley requires removal of the aux drive belt so you can see how that is done at the same time.
Start by popping the lid off the ECU housing and removing the ECU. Rest this on the engine out of the way. Take care not to damage any wiring.
Removed ECU + Lid
Next undo the 10mm bolt in the bottom of the ECU housing and remove housing. You are presented with this.
Removed ECU housing
From here you can clearly see the tensioner pulley. To remove the Aux drive belt use a 15mm spanner on the bolt in the centre of the tensioner and push the tensioner away from you. This will remove the tension from the belt and it can be slipped off.
Belt being removed
At this point if you are just replacing the Aux drivebelt you can slip the old belt off and the new one on. For those doing the pulley and tensioner proceed as follows.
Jack up the car and remove the drivers front wheel. Ensure you are using axle stands and do not rely on a jack to support the cars weight.
Car jacked up.
Remove the wheelarch liner. This is held on by 3 pop off clips. You will need to remove the bottom part of the liner that attaches to the bumper also. This is held on by three size 20 torx bits. These may be corroded so be carefull and use lots of WD40.
Wheelarch liner off.
You are presented by the crankshaft pulley. At this point you will need to lock the flywheel in place and use a 22mm socket on a long bar to remove the crankshaft socket. In my case I locked the flywheel by putting the car in gear and I used an impact wrench rather than the long bar. This probably is not best practice and you should use some sort of locking device to lock the flywheel. Still for me it came off no problems.
Crank pulley bolt removal
From here you can see the damage to the pulley and where the noise and metallic dust was coming from.
Knackered pulley
Apparently the pulley is made like this to dampen the vibrations etc that diesels suffer from. I understand that there is some rubber or something similar within the pulley that coupled with the inner pulley weights, dampens the vibrations.
Whilst you are in there it would be daft not to replace the tensioner pulley also. This is an easy job to remove requiring only a 8mm Allen key to release the centre tensioner bolt.
Removing the tensioner pulley bolt.
Now for the hard bit. The new parts. The crank pulley itself at the time of writing this is a dealer only part. I tried all the usual motor factors to get one to no avail. This unfortunately is expensive at £204. Pt no. is 515V6. My Stealer was nice and gave me it at trade which was £173. Still damn expensive. The new belt and tensioner however can be purchased from motor factors. GSF supplied me with a belt for £11.75 and a tensioner for £23.50. Interestingly enough the GSF part although half the price of the peugeot part was identical and indeed was manufactured by the same company as the peugeot one off the car.
Old and new tensioners. Identical parts but new one not Pug supplied.
Old and new crank pulleys
Replacement of the parts is the reversal of removal. Ensure and use some loctite on the crankshaft pulley bolt as shown bellow and ensure this bolt is torqued.
Loctite is a must!
The belt goes on as in the diagram bellow
Position of new belt.
Once everything is back together start the engine and ensure noise has gone and there are no unusual indications (squealing belt, battery light etc).
Job complete !
Hope this is useful.

Wow thanks for that I took car to get it checked today as I was hearing a ticking noise behind drivers wheel and narrowed it down to the crank shaft pulley through this brilliant site, Priced one from pug £178 + Vat managed to get one from aepdirect pug part £69 + vat or their own make £45 + vat .

On the video you could see the metalic dust when you revved it if the pulley crapped out then you'd have been in a bit of bother
Very good how too

Top quality howto there!
One thing that will differ between models is the wheel arch liner removal. On D8 saloon/estates it's held on by one plastic clip and a whole bunch of torx screws, which will all be rusted to the point you'll end up chucking most of them

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
