This.
It's hard to tell from my work laptop speakers. What exactly happened when it started making this noise?

Take the aux belt off and see if the noise is still there

what this chap said.
Knackard bearing or something.

Be careful though, if it's the cambelt tensioner then you really don't want to be running the engine... Strip it down and see how the tensioners/pulleys feel.
RE: Strange noise - Sian - 08-01-2014
Thanks for all the response guys! Adam Gonna take it into work Tomorrow and have a good look. It literally drives spot on no difference except that horrible noise! Il let you all know what happens tomorrow
RE: Strange noise - adamm306 - 08-01-2014
why are you still driving it...
RE: Strange noise - Martin306 - 08-01-2014
Sounds like a bearing of some sorts (tensioner or maybe gearbox)
RE: Strange noise - adamm306 - 08-01-2014
im 99% sure thats the aux tensionser listening to it on pc sounds exactly like mine did before it seized and burnt off the aux belt its a common fault

When you live in the country side and have no other way of driving i had to when i got back i noticed it was louder havent touched it since!
RE: Strange noise - adamm306 - 08-01-2014
yea just be careful if its that when it goes ur aux belt will snap and youll lose the PAS ! and if you're really unlucky could get caught in cam belt
RE: Strange noise - Piggy - 08-01-2014
drive steady, keep load and rpm to a minimum...that sounds bad

Will do
RE: Strange noise - adamm306 - 08-01-2014
yea more than likely prob worth just removing the tensioner and having a spin on it and you'll be able to hear/feel
really common anyway its gone on all of my 306's

RE: Strange noise - Sian - 09-01-2014
So the 6 has gone today to find out the cause of that awful noise! Will keep
You all posted
RE: Strange noise - adamm306 - 09-01-2014
chop chop
RE: Strange noise - Sian - 09-01-2014
So the cause was the aux belt! The tensioners and pulleys had a ridiculous amount of play ! All new parts have been orderered and hopefully fitted tomorrow
RE: Strange noise - adamm306 - 09-01-2014
win nice easy fix then
RE: Strange noise - Sian - 10-01-2014
Yeah i was thinking it was something bad but only a small one! Hope now it behaves itself fingers crossed haha
RE: Strange noise - Midnightclub - 10-01-2014
Just as well you found it before it was too late
RE: Strange noise - Sian - 11-01-2014
