Hey guys I have a small question I think it's a reasonably general one...My mums Honda legend went in for a big 100,000km service. They gave it back with an awful shake in the engine right across the range, it turned out that it was the harmonic balancer, aka, crank pulley i think. Now they want to charge 500 bucks for the part, however I'm convinced these things dont just die, in fact, the part was so hard to get hold of it had to come from japan....So do you guys think a timing belt change can damage a harmonic balancer, or is this human error thats caused this error???

sounds like they forgot to torque up the harmonic balancer after changing the timing belt and its rattled itself to pieces

The same thing happened to the Commodore I had... For no reason and without warning the Harmonic Balancer went.. so yes they do just break..

Hell of a coincidence that they pull the engine apart, put it back together and you immediately have a new problem with the car.....
May pay to at least argue with them over the bill and maybe wipe off any labour charges since if it was really already faulty it wouldn't have taken any extra time to replace it along with the timing belt.
