-
yeah good idea use work van hey ........craggsy was yours knocking loudly same area then when driving it seems to be very faint when in neutrel and im revving it
-
hhaha yeah pm,d him already he did small job for me a while back it was actually you that said in an old thread that the tensioner bolt cured your rattle to left side of engine
-
praying it could be this simple tensioner bolt causing this rattle on opposite side of engine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
if u can imagine it sounds like a old ford with no oil or how a rough diesel van sounds its terrible and embarassing lol
-
ok some of you have prob seen my thread that i think vr has blown the engine was replaced 15,000 ago with one that had 100k on it and has been faultless the last year.I have a loud rattle from left side of engine when driving at generally all speeds and revs unless u drive like a grandad.i read a thread on here that it could be the tensioner bolt which i know is buggered beacause i took out yesterday and it sticks in when compressed and seems slighty bent to one side so thats def in need of replacing ! but i thought that would only solve my very slight chain noise that ive always had.what im r
-
looks like the vr6 gave up on 224,456 miles today looks like new lump will a 2.9 corrado lump go straight into my 97 golf vr6 ?????

-
ok mate cool is it literally just taken it out and screwing new one in ????
-
just took tensioner bolt out and re tightened and seems to of quietened could i just need a new tensioner bolt ??? or maybe oil change with some nice thick oil ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,dont need this rite now heater matrix went the other day too!!!! lol
-
ok done some research and it seems it mite be timing chain,,,,,,,,or tensioner as its coming from above gearbox can i adjust tensioner to solve this and how easy is that ??
-
ok my vr6 has recently started making a rattling noise from under bonnet for first 2 - 3 seconds if that when i start it from cold also if i hold it at about 3000 rpm the noise appears and constantly also when i get to the higher revs threw out each gear ,,,,,,,,,,,,very worried last time i heard that sort of noise was when i blew my renault williams clio !!!!!! water isnt creamy ,,,oil isnt mucky and had new engine with 100k on it 2 years ago ,,,,,,,,,,,,,iwhen i first heard rattle i assumed the obvious and checked oil cos sounded like an old fords tappets and it was dry but i have filled her
-
