  1. guys...need a small help.. today evening when i was driving back to home...suddenly i heard a sound (taka taka noise) from engine bay (left side)...but could not notice any visible thing as there was no enough light..however i managed 3kms or so (since i didnt feel uncomfortable in running than the noise ) to home...and noticed the drive belt near crank pulley was dislocated and the pulley was wobbling...but it was still rotating with the belt..after some time the belt was totally dislocated and my battery warning signals were came came on... i spoke to a mechanic close to my place and he told the crank pulley has to replaced together with the belt and will cost around 20-25k..personally i dont like to do any repairs with him..as he almost ruined my previous car (marino) 2 years ago....and the present car (Ek3) did not gave any probs until today so basically i didnt need a mechanic.. the things i want to know are... 1.Is it a big repair when it comes to replacing the crank pulley?? its wobbling can it be tightened?? 2.whats the actual cost of a crank pulley?? he says a recon one will cost around 20-25k 3.any reliable mechanic i can go??
