hi people, i got a problem with my engine, im on my 5th clio sport now, it was offered to me cheap so i thought why not ,

also quick qustion

when i 1st start the car up it quiet, when the engine gets warm it sounds like a diesel, i took the cover off the top, put new spark plugs in too, the number 4 coil lead was full of oil, and number 1 also had a bit of oil in it too,, the car is not missing atall, when i starts it when its cold its quiet, then when it gets warm it sounds like a diesel and when i revs it it goes away anyone had this problem ??

A service might help, although that sounds like a bit more work than an oil change to fix...worth a try as a first option

 

[montana]

Oh and welcome !

How come you have had so many ??

Most likely dephaser pulley causing the diesel like sound.

i had them a few years back, i sold this car to my bro 4 years ago and now bought it back, wat is a dephaser pulley, how much are they to buy and how hard are they to fit, i gonna do a oil change tomorrow, my brother seems to think that cars runs on petrol only so doubt it been serviced

Have a search, but in summary it means a new cambelt kit fitted at the same time, so around £500 from a specialist.

And if you do get it done, MAKE SURE IT GOES TO A SPECIALIST!
When you do the search, you'll find countless threads of garages doing them and majorly cocking them up!
