    Advice needed please - I suspect it's the cambelt :(

    I suspect my cambelt is close to going - 100k petrol engine/manual/2.0 T - noise kicks in at 3k rpm in every gear - any advice on:

    Am I right?

    How long have I got if I keep it under 3k rpm?

    I haven't checked the oil for debris this week (it was clean last week) is there anything I should look out for?

      Thanks - just lacking a bit of knowledge about this engine I can't describe the noise accurately so have posted the video. Coming from front and centre though.

    I'll try to put your mind at rest
    I'm not saying that a chain driven engine is a brucey bonus.
    because with them the chain guides disintegrate ( stupid plastic)
    but if the chain was an issue then there woukd be a distinct rattle from start up .
    and it would be from the left hand side ( looking at the car from the front )




    13-56 keep on trucking!

      Thanks, it helps but still leaves me needing to find out what the noise is - visit to the garage for it I think.

    To me now hearing it better. It sounds like the rev limiter is kicking in .
    dose it run ok apart from this noise ?

      It does upto 3k and apart from the noise at higher rpm. All temps are perfect and it idles perfectly. The only other odd noise occurs from a cold start but you can only hear that when you listen for it.

      Ta, only service suspension?
  • #7
    Sorry just seen your reply, comments don't show on Tapatalk. I'm assuming you have flexiride suspension then, you got a sport and tour button above radio? Have you got a fault code reader such as Opcom?
