noise on idle when warm

[matt25172]

hi all, i have a 172 phase 1, when the car is on idle and only when engine is warm theirs a horrible rattley knocky sort of noise very hard to describe but my first thought was it was a tensioner bearing or something along them lines, gave it to mates dad who took aux belt off checked pulleys ect then took cambelt off and checked everything and said it all seemed ok and he thinks its something to do with the vvt cam? does anyone know anything about these? could it be that? also if it could be how much to get fixed? sorry for the long story, thanks for any help! also been told it could be the fuel vapour valve? is this likely?

Charcoal cannister? They start making a noise when warm?

Have a search on the threads on here, see if any of them match your symtoms?

It's on the drivers side, sat nr the bumper. If you take the wheel and inner arch off it's pretty easy to get too
