Harmonic Balancer, Which one ?
Hello, its time for my 2007 C6 A6 to change my Harmonic Balancer + bolt + belt , the chirp is crazy , + its wobbling so hard that i can even feel it in my steering wheel.
The fun part is that the car is only 15k miles...
Feeling like the old **** 1958 Disel car
+ The Angry Birds under the hood are
So the Question is which Harmonic Balancer to install ?
i checked them and there so many of them.
Please give the name and the link to all of those that you know + your recomendations...
thanks in advance.

after I had the ProCharger installed mind did the exact same thing. I went with the ATI Super Damper. It is rebuildable also. http://www.atiracing.com/products/dampers/ I had my work done it Vector Motorsports and that is what Paul recommended. But if you would like a second opinion, Katech also uses ATI. http://store.katechengines.com/mobile/dampers-c41.aspx

Within the last year, the GM part number for the balancer was changed; some people say it's a slightly different design or at least a better manufacturer. Supposed to be better than the original, but I've got almost 60k miles on the original and no problems yet so no personal experience with the new one.

Sir,
I would recommend these two items: http://store.katechengines.com/ati-s...ts-v-p230.aspx & http://store.katechengines.com/bille...sioner-p2.aspx Since everything will be apart now would be a good time to do a cam, if that is something you may want to do. That way you save on labor.

To answer you main question, one of the main alternatives is SLP Performance Balancer Pulleys.

I had a local GM mechanic do mine, he works for a local dealer and does repairs on the side at his home, he came VERY well recommended. With the ATI HB and ARP bolt plus 2 new Gates Belts (he recommended Gates), with labor and a tip everything came to $832. He also checked my oil pan (known for leaking) and transmission/rear end unit for leaks and found everything O.K. He had my car for about a week...total labor was $300.

If I were ever to buy another pulley, it would be stock or ATI.

Do not trust ASP. I broke a C5R timing chain with an ASP pulley and, after lots of research, learned that the ASP pulley was the likely cause. It cost me an entire motor - heads touched all 16 valves and 13 or 16 were bent. 11 bent pushrods... Not a pretty picture.
