sct911 Member 848 Member For: 11y 5m 13d Gender: Male Posted 04/01/13 04:08 AM Share Posted 04/01/13 04:08 AM What could the noise be? I bought the car around 4 weeks ago at Manheim Auctions Moorebank, it's an ex cop car and I noticed the engine noise around 3 weeks ago, it only comes on after driving the car hard and/or the engine is hot. I've been driving the car with the noise for a while now as it's the only transport I havehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TzrPhSkQe84http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9arE8KdsXno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old Ba MKII turbo did it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 13y 8m Posted 04/01/13 01:04 PM Share Posted 04/01/13 01:04 PM Id say your belt tensioner.. they lose their tension and rattle. With 100k Id look at changing the drive belt at the same time.Worst case scenario it just my be your timing chain tensioner and/or chain guides...

I had it changed by my tuner. Also changed the drive belt at the same time. It seems to be a common issue - mine had about 120k at the time.
