Countryman SD pulley wobble and tapping noise , help needed please!
Hi guys
Recently purchased a 2013 Countryman 2.0 SD
It's making a noise at idle (no issues with how it drives at all) from around the auxillary belt area. Fades if you raise revs.
The sound isn't really there when cold starting, seems to be after 5mins of running.
Obviously I've read about timing chain concerns, but my hope is it's not that as it's definitely mainly from the drivers side, around the various pulleys that the auxillary belt runs around.
It's a tapping type noise, and it seems likely it's coming from the smaller pulley circled in red which has an evident wobble to it. Can't see that it should wobble at all!? If anyone has a pulley diagram or can advise what pulley this is circled in red, and what it drives that would be perfect! Pic is taken looking up from the drivers wheel arch area.
