s11pyk 0 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 iv read a few posts now referring to chain rattle, how can i tell if i have it? will it be really loud and obvious or is it more of a sort of light tinkling type noise, sorry my descriptions a bit crap but i dunno if mines doin it?my car runs really smooth and makes a wonderfull noise on song but at idle there is a very light rattle. dont think its terminal but is it another job to add to my ever increasing list??

T0NYVR6 2 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Theres a soundclip of it on here somewhere when its bad. I think you can always here a little bit of noise from the chains but when its bad youll know! Link to post Share on other sites
DanH 1 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 mine had a rattle, re-greased the belt tensioner bearing (try that first - think the guides in the premium member bit?) hoping it would jus be that-were't, so i had a look and the chain tensioner and guide were worn to fudge! so changed them and rattles still there! but 1000000% sure it cam followers now.basically, if like me u dont kno wot ur listening for get someone who knows! cos getting ur chains done is costly. unless u want to tackle it urself, did mine on the street im not a mechanic but tbh its not as hard as people make out. jus double check everything!
