Clio 197
my uncle bought a 172 that is knocking on the engine but only when warm, took for 5/10 minute test drive and no noise.
sounds like a dephaser pulley but heard these only do it when cold
He can leave the car running for 15/20 mins with no noise but drive around for a short journey (7/8 miles) the noise comes on and stays there, lift revs by 200 rpm when stationary and the noise seems to quiet down or go completly?
it is coming from top left hand side of the engine when looking down on the engine
dont want to spend £600/700 on belt kits and dephaser if not this!!! Belts were done 20000miles ago at 60000.
can anyone please help
thanks in advance
