My engine doesn't sound right ?



  Expression 1.2 16v
Hello

http://youtu.be/n0d45r1iEKg


heres a video of my clio - petrol 1.2 16v 2003 65,000 miles.

I know the ticking noise of the tappets might be something to do with valve clearance ? Which I'm getting done - but what's the other noise, sounds like something rotating or something is it something to worry about ? - I'm getting cambelt kit fitted with the water pump Thursday so I don't know if that would help but it's due one anyway.

Ticking could be valve clearance or just rubbish oil but it's nothing I would worry about.

Tensioner sounds a bit ropey to me.

Cambelt and wp should cure.

edit:assume you're also have aux belt done

Ask your garage. They will have to remove aux to do the cambelt. New belt is probably a tenner. New tensioner is easy and quick to fit but not sure of price.
