hiya all my 2000 e36 318 tds compact has a noise problem

the noise is there for 2 seconds after starting the engine then stops completely.  then it gradually comes back as the engine is warming up.

after replacing the belt tensioner pulley and listening round through a stephoscope (!?!) i think it is this area thats making the noise ( see link) its the main pulley from the crankshaft area see pic !!

it seems to be  a sort of grating noise like a dry bearing ?!?!? any pointers to the problem would be great.

also if you go http://www.exist.ru - www.exist.ru there is complete online parts diagrams for nearly every car made its in russian so you will have to go to alta vista to translate it from russian to english
