Loud clicking noise from engine
biffobear:
the engines tend to be pretty noisy anyway, but could be timing chain, try listening to someone elses to compare
Mkvryan:
That's not a normal noise.
Cam chain, tensioner and exhaust cam phaser need to be replaced.
Used to have the same noise changed the above items and only thing I heard is the injectors now :smiley:
Not a hard job at all expensive and must have proper tool to lock the cams
Yorkie92:
Thank you for the help, I will get the above done ASAP.
Will it harm the engine if this is not sorted quickly? As this has been like it since I got the car :confused:

john87:
If the chain snaps, or jumps a tooth, then your engine will most likely eat itself... I've been at my mate for six months to get his done as it's been rattling since he bought it, garage told him it was 'normal' :fighting:
Yorkie92:
Yeah, that's what they said to me :sad1:
I bought the car of a second hand car dealers with 3 months Engine and Gearbox warranty, would this be covered by the warranty at all?
