What the problem is

[turboguy25]

I have a 93 tsi awd at first I thought it was crankwalk but now I dont think so so here it is. First it started eating belts and throwing them so I took a look see and noticed the crank pulley wobbling so I checked to make sure it wasnt loose or any of the bolts had came out but it all seemed tight. Also the timing belt is good and does not seem to be jumping or wobbling back and fouth when running, so I think maybe the rubber between the outside of the pulley and the middle may have dryrotted broke free causing the outside of the pulley to become crooked. If you have seen this or have anythought let me know
Thanks

You have a separated harmonic balancer (crank pulley). Very common. Don't run the engine until you replace it or something far worse can happen.
