engine noise

[clio200bhp]

I've got a clip of the sound my engine is making while at a stand still, the knocking/tapping seems to pick up when rev'd abit but doesn't get any louder. Anybody know what it may or may not be as i'm freaking out .

Why is everyone copying my unique broken clio noise!

Was Dephaser pully one mine, cost me £950 notes to sort, same as a snapped cambelt.

This problem is getting more and more common, it sounds like a diesel locomotive.

 

[clio200bhp]

i think it's time to part x it lol.

 

[rclio2006]

i was gonna buy a 172 with the very same noise today...but common sense told me to walk away...even though the seller kept insisting that the noise was the "twin cams"...lol

 

[clio200bhp]

was that from a renault stealer then DrRollo?

 

[Henry]

if it's the dephaser that needs replacing, i think the part is about £100 from Renault and the labour is about 5 hours (as per cambelt change)

 

[clio200bhp]

seems to be coming from the top part of the engine where the engine cover would sit. How much more work is involved in replacing the dephaser as i'm getting the cambelt and that done in 2 weeks coz i could get it done then.

 

[bmh.01]

Its the dephaser and I doubt it'll last 2 days let alone 2 weeks if its got to that state (look what happened to DrRollo). It needs sorting now before it takes the valves/possibly head out as well.

 

[DrR]

Mine had, aux belt, cambelt, dephaser pully, head removed, ultrasounded, reskimmed, valves reseated, 8 new vlaves, new oil, new coolant,(+ stuff i can't remember) then there was labour on top. Was done here, good price for the work done IMO and they both own 172's so know the car well.

Was lucky in a way car was only ticking over when it broke.

What mileage is yr car on mate & what mileage was yrs on Dr wen it went?

 

[DrR]

51 plate, 64k, had a cambelt done year ago to. I did do some spirited driving around the Nurgburgring though.

But........... a depahser can just sound noisy. I know of a cup on here that did it for 2 yrs or so. DR rollos was a freak as the pully sheared off. Does the noise disapear once on the move, just noisy at idle? Get it changed though.

 

[clio200bhp]

mines an 03 plate 172 cup with 57k on the clock. when you rev it the ticking noise etc slightly speeds up but gets drowned out by the noise of the engine and when the sound of the engine gets low you then hear the ticking slow and go back to a ticking noise.

 

[clio200bhp]

so yeah just noisy at idle.

 

[Gaz_]

sure it aint the charcoal cannister? Can you here it outside the car? A dephaser makes the car sound PROPER rough. A faulty charcoal cannister solinoid tick tick ticks on idle and cruise, then dissapears

 

[john lloyd]

loose spark plug?

 

[BSC 182]

What about sticking hydraulic lifters , this would give you a ticking noise at idle.

 

[Markpw]

Blocked injectors ?

How unlucky ? If you only had the cambelt changed a year ago wouldnt they consider offering you some compensation eg 12mths warranty on cambelt parts etc

 

[clio200bhp]

Just an update really. Had the cambelt, aux belt, rest of the stuff that goes with those with that done, new water pump, new dephaser, oil and oil filter change done which I did today. The car is still sounding like a diesel and i can hear the noise increase in speed when i rev up slightly. Does the new oil need time to circulate and get into the system or should it be sraight away. It's strange coz if i rev up a few times the noise can goe away for about 5 seconds. I don't know what else it could be. Any ideas and do 172 cup normally have that sound during idle?

 

[clio200bhp]

How can you fix the charcoal canister thing. Is there anything i could buy to sort out a sticking hydraulic lifter or blocked injectors?

 

[clio200bhp]

I've resolved it now, i disconnected the charcoal canister and now its not making the noise any more, sweet!

 

[mattih5]

Wow is that what the carbon cannister sounds like? Mine has a slight ticking a ticking noise when I press the clutch down and rev it.

Dont think you should just disconnect it...think you have to bung the holes.
I would do a search as there is lots on it.
Mine ticks too...I got a new one and it still ticks


Yay my 1000th post too

 

[speedfreak81]

HI! just thought id put something in to the mix. my 52 plate 44k cup ticks on idle after a couple of mins on cold start up but goes after you lightly rev it then 10 seconds later comes back, what do peeps think? normal?

 

[Chris1.4RT]

I think I have this noise.

How do you disconnect the charcoal cannister?
