    I have had two of these in the last week, glad I read this post a few weeks ago, first one, Audi A4 PD 1900TDi with a squeak like a loose fanbelt on cold start, second, a Passat PD 1900 TDi today that had a heavy clatter on full lock that sounded like the PS pump was about to fly to bits,with both of them a new pulley cured the noise, the giveaway is the alternator belt "twanging" between the alt and PS pump, with the new pulleys fitted no deflection at all on the belt, with the faulty pulleys the belt was "twanging" about an inch. Could not see anything wrong with the Audi pulley but the Passat one was seized solid, costs just shy of £60 from TPS trade and a doddle to replace the pulley if you have the special tools, got mine from Snap-on, hope this may help others,
