rattle /clatter /turbo?

[craig boyd]

help
a mate of mine has sprayed belt dressing on the tubo belt and the other belts ,fan, pump ect, and suspect its gone between the pully and bearing housing??
since hi did this theres been a rattleon the tubo unit !
this dissapears when he sprays wD 40 down the side of the pully on the turbo , sounds like a bearing rumbble to me ?
i dont think any long term damage is done. i think the tacky spray is to bame as its as quiet as a mouse when sprayed, freeing up the bearing,
should he remove the turbo pully and clean/replace bearing if so how do we remove the pully as theres a nut on there but will just turn the pully
Any info would be greatfully accepted.

Please tell me about the supercharger mod as i would like to do that to mine! Only kidding! turbochargers are driven by exhaust gas not a belt you must be mistaking it for either the aircon pump or alternator mate.

The first bit of advise is - Keep your mate away from your vehicle.Belts do not need this crap sprayed on them if they are in good condition and adjusted correctly.WD40 should not be sprayed on bearings as it will dissolve the grease and destroy the bearing.If the pulley you mention is top left as you face engine then this is the air con.
