M111 rattle when idleing - small shockabsorber?
Hey guys. I just purchased a W203 C180 really cheap. I noticed there was a rattle when the car was idleing but it dissappeared when I reved the engine. I thought it was the timing belt tensioner but then I saw a video with a guy that replaced the small shock absorber that is fitted behind one of the pulley wheels. It seems when I press it the rattle goes away.
I recorded a video of it here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Akyr0RVlhID7jn1C...Chp5-?e=hKJi2Z
Do you think it will be enough to replace this small shockabsorber? I will also change the pump for the power steering because it sounds horrible when turning the wheel.
Does anyone know the parts number for the shockabsorber for a M111.951 engine?
Thank you very much in advance!

Just wanted to make an update. I replaced that small shock absorber and the rattleing sound is now all gone! Also the power steering pump is now silent. This was a really cheap fix, about $10
