[s-cars] Crank Pulley GB

[JAM]

There has been another failure that I am aware of.  A friend who lives just 
out of Asheville had failure of the crank pulley on his S6.  His actually 
slipped and caused the car to stop running altogether and I hear it wasn't 
the easiest thing to diagnose since the timing marks still line up.  I had 
mine replaced when the timing belt was done entirely because of his 
experience.  I would recommend replacing it at every or every other timing 
belt change.  I think his car had 140k miles on it when it slipped.
