That engine mount looks like it might be shot or not tightened

 

[flamerjohn]

Was it full Kits with all the idlers & tensioners, with a dephaser & who did it?

 

[flamerjohn]

yeah was the full kits mate and i watched them do it all, was done by a very reputable place that everyone knows, dont really want to mention any names ect. as i dont no what the problem actually is and if its related to the belts being done .. or just something else

Probably didn’t use the Renault locking tools mate and it’s mistimed.

Did the water pump get replaced too?

 

[flamerjohn]

yep waterpump aswel , im guessing something is a miss or is this how it should sound can parts fail after only 800miles .. it sounded sweet when it was first done now this .... where's fragma as "i need a miracle"

 

[DaveDreads]

Not that i'm an expert but it sounds aux belt related, like a pump bearing is failing or something.

 

[flamerjohn]

thats what someone else said but theres a lot of bearings on the aux side could be any i guess .. but then a local garage who are not specialists said dephaser so god only knows

I`m sure if you go back, they will advise you of any problem.
Air con compressor or steering pump could be noisy.
The fact that you said them rather than him indicates to me you did not go to Long Eaton.

Phone video`s always sound awfull anyway.

If you hadn't just had the whole lot replaced I would have said Dehasper, it's still a possibility but a knackered Dephaser sounds like a Black Cab's diesel engine.

I'd take it back to the garage that did the work and see what they say, there'a a possibility that one of the parts was defective, in which case you should be able to get a partial refund or at least a replacement part for free from the supplier.

Could just be the fact that it's had a new aux belt, and the tension is a little tighter than the old belt and it's cause one of the pumps to fail as one the bearings was on it's last legs.

 

[flamerjohn]

i dont even no where long eaton is .. but yes i am taking it back for advice from said garage but its a 100mile round trip i could do without so was seeing peoples opinons on here first as i didnt want to waste mine or his time if it wasnt related to belts

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

are you talking about the high pitched noise (my guess would be dephaser) or the low pitched drone? (no idea)

 

[flamerjohn]

any noise is bad noise in my opinion.. the dephasers a new part i cant belive it would fail so soon?? im guessing the general consensus is something isnt right and to take it back for investigation ..

 

[flamerjohn]

Probably didn’t use the Renault locking tools mate and it’s mistimed.

they defo used the locking tools as i watched and spoke about what they were doing ... so unless the belts slipped ....

 

[STEVE.M]

Peoples opinion on this ?

 

[bloke]

Hard to tell from a phone video but at first it's got the classic waterpump sound but as that's been replaced anything aux driven, easy enough to drop the belt and run it for a couple of seconds and see if it goes or have a poke and listen with a long screwdriver.
