Thread: Engine Noise

  1. #1

    Default Engine Noise

    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.

    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.

    Just checked then doesnt seem too bad, but i have no idea how tense it is supposed to be :S

    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

    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

    it's substantially louder on passenger side, so leads me to believe it's the fuel pump...
    scared me at first as well

    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.
