a noise like a diesel engine on clio 172

[cliosportap]

hi friends i have a ticky noise on idle but only when the engine is warm. i have changed the valve tappets but no solution. can it be from water pump. the noise seems that it is coming from the top of the engine and it is like a diesel engine sound

 

[Cupster]

Changed the oil lately?

 

[cliosportap]

ihve changed it for the second time, only made 500miles

 

[Tigger]

Belts maybe?
A mates 172 sounded like that at one of our meets, he said it was just the belts needing done.
Was funny too - "Mikey, are you sure yours is petrol?" :rasp:

 

[Fred@BTM]

does it sound like this?

 

[Josh@Renparts]

possible dephaser pulley, does it go away with revs?

 

[cliosportap]

does it sound like this?

yes i think it is the same sound but as i said it is only when the engine is warm can it be from the belt, dephaser pulley or water pump. when you give a little throttle it goes away

 

[Tigger]

Couldn't resist :rasp:

 

[MikeyK18]

my car is a petrol!!!

 

[cliosportap]

iwant the next yellow one maybe it is olso diesel:rasp: but what about my problem any ideas?

 

[Tigger]

What bout your belts, do they need done?

 

[NOT! gary l]

Get it into a garage for a checkover quickstyleeee

When you did an oil change did you actually flush it with an engine flusher or just put new oil in?

 

[cliosportap]

i done those things but it makes again when the engine is ful hot

 

[SBV116]

Right, so the car is hot, it is sat idling and it sounds like a diesel?? correct? you give the car a little bit of throttle, 1500 / 2000 rpm and it goes away? sounds good again?

If thats correct, dephaser pulley.

[cliosportap]

yes the sound is very similar. you mean the plastic pulley isnt it . and did you change it how much is the pulley in england

 

[DrR]

No it's not plastic, sadly if it's gone you need a cambelt change + the pulley.

Mine sheared off very shortyl after making that noise.

 

[cliosportap]

by saying plastic both 2 pulleys are metal but the pulley's outside which is the right side of the photo is plastic. which one did you change and what is the price of it


is it this pulley

 

[DrR]

No it's the other big one i believe.

 

[cliosportap]
