Dephaser?

[_WILL_]

Engine is ticking quite loudly. I did the belts, dephaser and water pump about 6k / a few months ago. I have been Reading threads and listening to other people's videos but I am just not sure.

is there a definitive way to tell if its defaser? If its not the dephaser what else should I be looking at?

engine is on 100k and I changed the oil and plugs at the weekend.

I have a video but I don't think it sounds as bad on the video. I am hoping I am being paranoid tbh.

What plugs did you put in?

It had Bosch ones in, when I serviced it I replaced with Bosch. That was a mistake!! So I swapped it NGK yesterday. None of these plugs has effected the ticking noise tho. They did make it run a little s**t tho!!

I have listened to the video again and it is the ticking noise that I can hear on the car, it follow the revs until it is drowned out by other engine / exhaust sound.

sounds a bit dephasar ish ... recently i had the worlds worst sound coming from mine sounded like the internals of the engine were escaping.... turned out to be a bolt had fallen out of the alternator bracket at the bottom and the alternator was just banging about. could be worth a look

Sounds like the Manifold issue I had, bolt springs snapped off and the bolts were hanging out, issue being they are hard to see unless you have a ramp but was the last thing I had looked at. easy as to change though.

Sorry, which bolts. Mani to block or mani to exhaust.

Mani to block mate, it's a b**ch to get to though, need ramps really.

Cool. I will check them. Tbh honest I have had the engine out fairly recently and mani off again for a starter motor issue so I will give them a check as could easily have missed something.

That's pretty much the noise mines making.
Im also unsure as to what it is.

I have listened to a few and they make the same noise, but mine is much louder!

I thought that as well so I have checked the torque on all for. Have set them to 25Nm.

Interestingly while looking I notices that the main pulley for the aux belt, the crank pulley has a wobble. Which is a little convening. I will post a video of it.

Hey Fred, I'm running EPAS conversion.

Ah ok, appologies!

Ah ok, appologies!

Fred, can I toque up, or at least check the torque of that pulley without removing too much? I can't remember for the life of me if I removed it to do cam belt?

Also do you recognise the noise in the first video, could it just be noisy injectors?

So after some messing around today I have found the following.

The pulley has a wobble, so I will change that when I can but not urgent.
The crank pulley bolt is defiantly torqued up correctly now.
And the timing it out. Not by much but defiantly out. I think I got it slightly wrong when I did it originally.

Not really sure of the best plan moving forward. Seems like a right hassle to put it right!!! Not sure what the best way to do it will be. Belts are only 7k and a few months old!!
