Help.. engine noise 172

[Clio197-dan]

Probs been asked this lots before. Bought a 172 yesterday, on cold start up all is well. However when at temperature there is a rattle on idle. Stops when revs go over 1k. No loss of power!

If so what's the cost to replace? Any recommended garages in the north east?

Sounds like the dephaser mate. Exact symptoms.
Cambelt job so you're looking around £600 at a specialist.

I'm not sure who your local specialist is, but I'm sure someone will be along to point you in the right direction

Not sure if everyone knows a rattle from a tick.
Carbon canister?

Any chance of a vid?

Heard horror stories about them needing doing. Is it a case of stop driving it until done? Thanks

No mate, it'll be fine. Don't think a dephaser has ever caused a catastrophic failure. Just sounds like a diesel

As usual, phone vid sounds terrible. Best to take it to a specialist.

I ran mine for a good few thousand miles when it was rattling it's head off.
