E46 320d Help needed please
Discussion
As above I have a e46 320d, it has developed a mattalic rattle on start up and throughout the rev range. Having done some research and a physical exam it seems to be coming from the crankshaft pulley.
Is there anyone here that could advise whether they have had a similar problem and associated noise?
I am possibly looking to do the replacement myself or possibly ask a mechanic friend of mine to help (do it for me) but don't want to rush out and buy the parts without checking it out first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Could be, mine failed and sounded like you describe..

Finally fixed, as suspected crankshaft pulley was knackered.
Not easy to have the bolt holding it on removed but once brute force and ignorance were unleashed we got it out.
part was ordered from Euro Car Parts and delivered within an hour of ordering so extremely happy about the service received and cost, would definitely recommend them and will use again.
Thanks for your help
