Rochefort Member 80 Member For: 11y 5m 10d Posted 10/12/13 10:22 AM Share Posted 10/12/13 10:22 AM Hi All,I have a BF MkII Xr6 ute sitting in the driveway on a "overnight testdrive". I have to decide if I want to buy it tomorrow.Noticed that after the engine warms up, there is a ticking/rattle type noise . The missus says "its like a marble rattling around or something" Me, sounds like perhaps something near the timing chain. Maybe its normal.. Havent had a car like it, currently have a turbo diesel surf... lolOnly seems to do it when its sitting idling for a period of time. Go for a drive and come back, noise seems to be gone.. .Although I didn't let it sit idle again for ages to see if it happened again.Is this something to be concerned about?Does also have the diff clink issue which seems to be common.

Marbels though... that's another story.

Parts to replace it about $25 excluding labour. Have a listen with hood up to see if it is the idle pulley. Happened to me in my BA T. It's just an aging thing- they wear out.

Mine (ba xr6t) made no noise but when I decided to replace them (as I never knew if there were ever replaced) I dicovered that one was seized....I have no idea how it still spun the belt...wtf?I replaced with plastic but 9 months later and there not the best again so I brought some nice metal ones....bloddy nice compared to others. with the heat these engins make replace with the metal ones!
