Please help - Bar3back - 22-02-2013
I know this is a long shot but.....
I have a slight ticking noise coming from roughly where the alternator is, (I'll post a video later this week so you can here it) it only happens for 2-3mins at the start when cold but goes away, my first thought was the valves but its not tapping! And the noise is definetaley from the side, if the alternator is goosed does it click? Oil levels are fine too, I thought maybe check the oil pump and see if that's goosed but don't really know where to start, thought I'd check with the experts first....
Any replys would be great!
Thanks in advance!

aux belt tensioner?!
RE: Please help - Bar3back - 22-02-2013
Is it a hard job to replace?
RE: Please help - RJDubya - 22-02-2013
No, not at all. Depends if it is that though. Does it sound like a metal on metal grinding noise or more of a belt slipping? Does the noise come and go or is it just the first couple of minutes? Does it get louder with revs or as you drive faster?
RE: Please help - Bar3back - 23-02-2013
It's not a slipping belt, miter like metal on metal, just gets more constant, only happens at the start, when the engines been running for a while it doesn't do it!
RE: Please help - RJDubya - 23-02-2013
That's strange, if it was the tensioner I'd be expecting a constant noise, grinding metal on metal, getting louder when you pick up speed/revs. Stick a video up if you have chance mate, could be worth it
RE: Please help - Bar3back - 23-02-2013

Anyone??
RE: Please help - Piggy - 23-02-2013
sounds like cambelt is slapping on the casing!!
suggestion to pinpoint the sound...
get a long metal pole/rod...put the one end on an area of the engine...obviously a non moving part...the other close in your ear...use it as a stethoscope...move in round on engine till pinpoint the sound location
RE: Please help - Bar3back - 23-02-2013
If the cam belt is slipping, would that not be continuous??
I'll check the casing on Monday when I attemp to get a shredded ball joint off!!
RE: Please help - Piggy - 23-02-2013
slapping...not slipping
RE: Please help - Bar3back - 23-02-2013
Ill have a look mate! That's what I meant mate! Lol
RE: Please help - Bar3back - 25-02-2013
It's the timing belt casing mate, just took it off and changed it, no more noise
