Faults do happen as no manufacturer can say with 100% certainty that there products have a 100% reliability rate but did they "lock" the new pulley before fitting it? I've not done one on an F4R in a while now... everything is K4J/M at the minute and I believe they come pre-locked from Renault now. Are we sure they fitted a brand spanking new unit also?

have never seen a faulty one

ya it was brand new and it came locked what else could it be????

 

[sideways danny]

they've probably cocked up the fitting. Incorrect seal is a common one

back street garage ?

I'm betting on incorrect fitting.

what a load of crap, why would they have fitted it if they knew it was faulty
