Get your head under the bonnet and rev it, if it goes quiet when revved its most likely dephaser.
dephaser is the inlet cam pulley which alters cam timing via oil pressure.
dephaser is a cambelt off job, you never ever re use a cambelt so budget for £500-£600
Sounds like a dephaser tap, though you say it speeds up with revs? so if you revved the nuts off it that noise will increase right up the rev range?
If so then Id suggest not driving it as that sounds like a possible oil starvation problem - very hard to diagnose over the net but id get it to...
Yes it adjusts the timing basically dude, and yes keep the oil a good quality and changed regularly and your dephaser shouldnt give too much trouble, though when is the cambelt next due? For the sake of an extra £150 every 5 years id change it when you get the belts done.
Normally when they...
I cant see the pic but if its the one i thinking about it goes in the side of the head by the engine mount - will have to jack the engine up to get the bolt in
What do you mean by that mate?
RS Tuning is a compony in Leeds that does offer a tuning box, or you have the RS Tuner which is also a tuning box - RS tunings is a plug in, and the rs tuner is loaded onto your laptop and then downloaded into your car
you mean the little thin bracket mate? it's common for that to snap, it can mean mounts are getting a little old but if im honest iv seen it on fairly new 182's when they came out
The dehaser is a cambelt pulley that adjusts the timing via oil pressure.
When the car misses oil changes/has poor quality oil, it can wear the dephaser and it rattles louding on idle when warm, but goes quiet over 1700 rpm (the dephaser adjusts the timing at 1650 rpm and 6500 rpm)
