Could be. Wonder how the pulley became that loose on the shaft?

Anyhow, I hope the OP flat beds the car in rather than drive it in. My Boxster's water pump was just grumbling and I flat bedded it 25 miles to the nearest dealer. Cost me $125 I think. Worth it.

Not as bad as the bill for having my Turbo flat bedded from Ely NV to Livermore CA back in 2009. I paid around $1750 for that. 540 miles or thereabouts.
