Up to you Fred, email is guysy_1110@hotmail.com if you wish. Thank you !

Was on my phone last night, had a listen of the videos in the thread linked and they are definitely the same sounds, what does hitting its stop mean ?

Ive had this problem with Micro SD cards, something do do with a controller on the chip. End of the story is I couldn't format it or do anything with it, it was dead. Hope you have better luck with yours.

Ill see if they can help me, happy to pay for a new belt on there if so. Thank you for your help.

Ok ill be on the phone in the week, when you say the belt has worn will that be a problem ?

Just listened to the video Fred, hats off to you, that is the noise I have. I didn't just use a back street garage, I used a a specialist, when I had someone off here listen they said they could hear the belt rubbing slightly. So how bad is this ? Obviously it will need sorting ASAP, will the...

How comes its only come about in the last few months ? Does it need seeing too ASAP ?

Spark plugs where checked, It does sound like a normal engine in that video, its hearing the other noise that is the problem, heres another video, on the road no surfaces for the noise to bounce off it sounds ok, when Im parked next to cars its noticeable.

To me it sounds like a bolt is loose but cant fully escape, something trying to work loose.

Could do with some trained ears, I realise its hard to diagnose unless stripping the engine or hearing it in person, basically I thought this clacking type noise in the video below was the water pump bearing failing and after the pump and a new Aux kit was fitted the noise still existed. It will...

Steering rack bushes? Inner tie rods? track rod ends ? best get those checked or replaced.

Good work, lovely car overall too.

04 plate Black Gold 182, spotted you a few times down Queens road and you parked next to me in the pub wondering if your on here?

Pump, haven't had to do the pump on my 182, but on the 1.2 I just pulled it out, is that not possible to just pull the pump out without removing the wiper mech and bottle?

Do you have to remove all of that just to get at the pump? on my 1.2 I just pulled it up and out, and replaced? Edit, just read above about the lazy method, I suppose do a job once and do it properly :)

A little bit more information will help people answer, was the car running fine before it had no spark or? Battery's fine? alternator? coil pack? Ht leads?

Why not just normal Brembo HC discs? ​

Put it in gear, leave the wheel fully on the ground, put a breaker bar on so you can stand on it or something. If that doesnt work take it to a garage to get buzzed off.

Nice and clean!

Probably rattled off and down the road if there is supposed to be one? I would expect it needs the cover to stop dust and dirt getting in there larger plastic cover screws in then a smaller plug into that? ​Might be best just ordering one from VW.

Cheers for the offer mate I will keep it in mind, I've taken the bumper off and ran the car, I can hear the pas pump making the noise it does in the video, but I can't be sure its the rattle so I've asked a member on here who I've been taking to if he can come and have a listen first before I...

Silly question but how do you hand turn the engine? on the crank bolt? left or right?

Found the tool, 29, will have to be ordered along with the pump.

Any other way ? How much is the tool ?

Bought the puller, hope its needed. Just need to find a way to get it back on?

Like so, is this the "boss" is this the only thing that needs removing and pressing on to the new pump? if so then I just need to find a kit, the one on ebay doesnt seem to be able to hook underneath the pulley...

I've already done the water pump Mate the problem seems to lye with the PAS pump now, the workshop manuals show the pulley shaft needing to be pulled off and pressed on ?

Yeah I had the pulley off for more room when taking the water pump off, but Im reading about this "boss" or "flange that needs to be pressed on and can be a right pain? I thought the shaft that the pulley attaches too needs to be pulled off? saids something like that in the workshop manuals.

Ok, will test today with the aux on how long it takes to here the rattle, hopefully under a min. then Ill do the same tomorrow when its not raining. Seeing as my other existing thread has gone quiet, does anyone know what I need to do to the new pump before I can fit it? pull the pulley off...

Yeah I think I will, problem is I have to drive to my grandads flat drive across the road before lifting the car up, cant on mine as its on a slope, makes things annoying because he needs his space so Ill have to refit the belt only to take it back off again when the pump arrives. Have a price...
