makster28 0 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 went the a so called vw specialist who was polish and he could hear the noise but seemed clueless of a solution and just said its seems ok, a complete joker,then i took it to another garage and he said it was the timing chain. but the noise is defernatly coming from above the belt tensioner pullley i said to the guy the chains are on the other side of the car near the gearbox but was adiment it was above the pulley can anyone confirm this? really stuck now also performance is bad now.cheers Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I think you need to go to a different garage!Chains are gearbox end. Link to post Share on other sites
Pearsy47 1 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 yea go to different garage mate chains are at the gearbox side like craggsy said ! where is the noise coming from?? Link to post Share on other sites
makster28 0 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 yep will do,the noise is above the belt tensioner pulley system and to the side of the camshaft breather pipe in the block i recently greased up the tensioner with bearing grease me thinking this was the problem, the noise statrts at slight revs and speeds up with increased accelaration more so when actualy driving the car Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 tensioner is probaly seized in which cas ethe grease may not help Link to post Share on other sites
makster28 0 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 i cant hear no noise coming from the tensioner tho mate the belt and mech look and sound good if someone can put up a numbered diagram of this side of the engine i would pin point it straight away Link to post Share on other sites
chief ka kar 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I had a noise coming from that side on my last vr only to frind it was the water pump. Not sure if yours will be the same fault, just an idea.try putting a screw driver to parts of the engine with your ear to the handle. This sometimes helps locate which area the nosie is coming from. It may not be the best idea but it may help ?? Link to post Share on other sites
