You mean the crankshaft pulley, and yes, it is a common failure. The pulley is made of an inner and an outer, with a rubber ring in between. Eventually, the rubber starts slipping on the steel. I don't know if I'd be too happy driving it with a wonky pulley. If it comes apart, you're in for some serious damage. How bad does it look? -- Grunff
