Car sounds like a bag of nails!!
« on: February 21, 2021, 07:15:42 pm »
Need some help!
Cars developed a loud rattle at idle and under load.
Two fault codes
P000A and POO16

Does a faulty N205 valve cause rough/ noisy engine? Or am I looking at the chain and tensioner ? or even the cam adjuster rings?

Cam follower/ oil vacuum seals and oil and filter have just been done

Yeah sound is very  much like when the alternator pulley seizes,  but just replaced that. I’m gonna whip the fan belt off and check AC pulley
