It sounds like it has been poorly fitted, check the centre of the pully wheel and se if it sat correctly on the shaft end. if you can loosen the belt and tap the centre of the wheel to see if it re-aligns, be careful driving it, in fact I would not drive it at all until it looked correct.

I had a similar fault on another car one of the bolts hokding the pully wheel had came loose and fell out there was 3 bolts on this car, not sure on yours but do chcek they are all tight and be sure to tighten them evenly half a turn each then move to the next etc etc.

hope this helps

SOURCE: main crank shaft pulley is coming off

NO, the crank pulley, or harmonic balancer is rubber mounted, it will come apart, and is a fairly expensive item, $100 at the junk yard. Get it fixed before it flies off the car. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: serpentine belt keeps slidding off.

Yes for the tensioner and maybe for the crankshaft. If the crankshaft bolt is loose, the pulley could work its way off the crank.

What you need to do is start fresh with the tensioner. A new one will insure that the pulley mounted on it is the correct one. Be very careful about the bolts going through it as some may vary in length having bad consequences.

Even if you have to go to the Dealer, find out about bolt lengths. Then look at the back of the tensioner bracket. For strength some brackets have raised surfaces which are suppose to match indentations in the mounting surface. These 2 irregular shapes are suppose to mesh and prevent vibration from unseating the tensioner.

You may be able to find a tensioner in the Salvage yard with its bolts intact. Label position of each bolt removed. They may be different by 1/2 inch or less. Also looked for spacers or washers that would help align the part.

Make sure that the belt you have is not stretched.

I have no idea of what you call a "dramatic " pulley but rest assured that if it is spinning and bent then the uneven forces generated will eventually destroy the pulley and the shaft and bearings it is on. IF by chance you are referring to the harmonic balancer on the crankshaft then it is already broken and will come off and put a hole in the radiator or worse

first check main crank shaft pulley or the harmonic balance pulley to see if it's rubber has become un vulcanized and moves on the pulley this will cause the belt alignment issue and breaking problem

How do i time my Golf 1 correctly? it consumes a lot
its tricky enough if your not sure what your doing but ill run you through it. 1. remove top rocker cover and timing belt cover. 2 make up the position of the pully on the cam shaft at the top and the drive shaft at the bottom, this marks are you fail safe incase you cant time the engine. 3 remove the timing belt and pully tentioner, note if your going this far you are as well to replace the timing belt,tentioner and water pump. 4 On the cam shaft at the top if you force them to turn you will see a small indicator mark on the shaft this mark has to line up with the other indicator mark on the housing between the cam shaft and the cam shaft pully, once they line up your top end is timed, mark up the pully incase it moves. 5 on the drive shaft pully there is also markings that have to line up but you can also feel the position of the pully as you turn it, you will feel the piston been forced up and it is timed at top dead centre on cylinder one, which means the the piston has to be at the top just before the point of returning back down, using your feeling as a guide and the markings lined up you will have timing. also mark up this pully, your new marking should be very very close to the fail safe markings you put on at the start. when you have your marking replace the timing belt with the longest distance between pully contact going on first, try not disturb your timing or your hard work will have been for nothing, make sure the tentioner on the belt is tight but not to tight to the point where you ll stretch the belt or snap it, put everything back as you found it and crank the engine, job done, best of luck. hope this helps( rate me on my answer thanks )

Hi, Check if the pulleys are lined up correctly maybe before you had it someone changed a pully & it is not the correct one, hence out of line or one pulley is damaged, but by what you state. I am sure you would have noted something wrong on one of the pulleys if a weld was split or bent one side of a pulley. Please send me feedback to [email protected] Thanks Malcolm Campbell.

How easy is it to change water pump gasket on 91
There are two pulleys running in this engine, and the waterpump runs on the second pully behind a case. so you have to take almost everything off to get at it. Then, the waterpump is actually the belt tensioner for that pulley system. it is excentric (sp?) so when you turn it in place, it tightens the belt. then you secure it back with three bolts. The belt system in question connects the drive shaft with the cam shaft, So you do have to be Very Careful with the belt/ pulley alignment. i marked the pulleys very very carefully so i could get everything lined up again.

Hi I'm litoshop the bottom pulley is the damper that damper could be broken if you tighten the crankshaft bolt and the pulley is not aligned then you may need to replace the damper and when you replace the damper before you put the bolt on use a little lock tite it's a liquid us mechanics use when we don't want a bolt to loosen so easy. if this information has been helpful please let us know thank you and good luck

Timing marks for 91 volvo
The balance shaft pulley should be sitting at 4 o'clock, the crank pulley should be setting at 12 o'clock, and the cam pulley should be set even with the edge of the cylinder head at about 11 o'clock. You may have to set the distributor forward or back a little t get it running right.
