A noise that needs to be paid close attention to!

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Timing belt

This video not only shows us something, but it also makes us feel it. In fact, it makes us feel the sound of a pulley of the crankshaft that is about to break. If we hear a noise like this inside our hood, we must stop immediately, because the crankshaft pulley can break at any moment; its internal damper has been damaged and the breakage can cause serious damage to the engine. In this specific case, the video shows us the engine of an Opel car, but the problem concerns all cars that have a belt transmission: over the years and kilometers, this deteriorates and if not changed in time, it can lead to problems like this.
