Annoying Squuek/Chirp

[j100ame]

Hi all, My hilux has developed a really annoying squeek from the engine. I have changed the aircon belt as this was found to be slack but to no avail. I have just recently changed the water pump as I was convinced that was where it was coming from but again after a full day in the garage and ££'s thrown down the toilet, the squeeks still there. My next port of call is the alternator but was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and hopefully has a quick and CHEAP fix...

Any help would be greatly appreciated......

It's probably the harmonic balancer on the crank pulley.

they had to take the pulley off to do the pump, thought they would have checked that.

That's normally when they break it....

It was the 'Chirp' that made me think of the harmonic balancer, the rest would only squeak.

Yep, but I wouldn't use a used one. Rather pay the £100 for a new one.
