Hi Guys im sure u have covered this before but is this a sign of the VVT system needing replacement? It is not as loud in person just thought the ticking was the noise the engine just made wasnt aware that this was an issue before today. Car has always had the same noise and there is a little rattle on startup. Never been in another MPS to know any better lol.

Doesn't sound right to me but things always sound worse on video lol.

Lol why arent u guys in Canberra so u can come over and take a look
The rattle on startup suggest that your timing chain is loose... Really loose. With the engine off (Obviously), take the oil filler cap off, stick your finger in there and see how much slack is in the timing chain.
Auto tech fuel pump :)
Mine is the same...

Just to add as well when cold, shifting gears when taking foot clutch there is a bit of a rattle too but goes away when cars warms up a bit, just always thought it was normal with a chain rather than belt lol best be getting the tension checked i think to be on the safe side
Same..Quote:

Sounds like my engine , the CPe pump is very loud indeed
Thanks all, still might get it checked next service lol
u need thick valve lube in that engine....!
Hmm mine sounds pretty much like that - accounting for how it sounds on video - and pretty much always has. Let me know if its found to be a problem LOL
No worried man will do, thanks for the feedback
it's substantially louder on passenger side, so leads me to believe it's the fuel pump...
scared me at first as well :p
My CPE Pump is loud as well. If you give it a sharp squirt first up you can hear the noise which does sound like a loose chain sometimes. Even with normal driving you give it a quick push and you can hesr it first up then she opens up and is not so bad.Quote:
