Tmoney, Blick and I did Tmonies idler pulley today. It is so much easier to just undo the front, rear and driver's side engine mount and then jack the whole engine and gearbox assembly up. The nut on the end is an E20 (female TORX); this negates having to remove the whole tensioner assembly.

Amen to that SD. Rattle is gone :)

Sorry to bring this back again.

Can someone please write up a detailed DIY fix on this? (maybe also include photos )

I've got no idea where the pulley is! I'm planning to tackle the problem pretty soon. (After exam is over)

Thanks!

Dude ........ <_<

'TMoney' thinks the rattle might be caused by the pulley itself, there is a guide on Matrix Owners forums.

SD - would you by any chance have the link or know where to find it?

Yep

Woops, my bad...

Just remembered about the rattling noise and assumed we haven't concluded the topic yet. So just replied straight to the end. :P

Cheers Guni.
