    Have to say the same,mine had it about 4 months back...just change the pulley m8 pretty cheap
    can try some WD40 first that might get in there maybe!!

    EDIT:I did my engine bay about a week ago and took couple days for it too settle also had noise from pulley once done, give it few days and see then if it does continue just replace..
    Also check my ride,sitting on HSV R8 19's

    If the tensioner pulley or the two idler pulleys are the metal type,then the bearing can be replaced in them,and costs around $7 from a bearing place.If the tensioner pulley or idler pulleys are the plastic type,then the bearings can not be replaced in these ones...
