turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 23y 5m 30d Gender: Male Posted 05/01/13 12:07 PM Posted 05/01/13 12:07 PM I think its phucked but I think it does not matter what noise the car makes, even if it lost a rod, he is still going to drive it as "its the only transport he has"!!!

Stigmata Legacy Donating Member 235 Member For: 13y 8m 16d Gender: Male Posted 15/01/13 10:17 AM Posted 15/01/13 10:17 AM Hi BudI bought my G6E Turbo 3 weeks ago with 92 000km, got home tonight and it is making the exact same noise as yours. I was a Ford master tech some 10 years ago but left cause they dont pay you enough! LOL I didnt get much of a chance on the barra engine due to leaving Ford for bigger and better things. That noise is definately not the idler or tensioner pulleys, both of mine were replaced by the dealer prior to sale and I just checked mine with my stethescope when I got home. The noise is definately coming from inside the timing cover, probably a lazy tensioner when the oil is hot causing a bit of chain slap?maybe crap oil? Its going back into Ford on Thursday for diff bushes, ambient air temp sensor and now the noise. I will let you know how it goes Gota love dealer warranties. I will give her a hard time before I get there to make sure it does it other wise they wont do a thing, I know all to well!Speak soon

It is the tensioner making that noise, my listening device was giving me a bump steer as the noise is transmitted through the timing chest. Well there you go, was replaced about 2000km ago and its stuffed! LOL Hope yours is all fixed bud Kind regards Jon
