NOISY ENGINE

[xSAMMIx]

Hi have recently noticed a loud tapping noise when car is not moving, sounds like a tractor :S but noise stops when driving!! Any ideas of what this could be? Thank you

Sounds like the dephaser pulley, get your money ready.

Dephaser. Have you had the cambelt done yet?

I have this problem too! Taps on idle but goes as soon as you rev it, even just a little bit.

I had my belts done ~25k ago?

Not nice at all, not to mention the circa £500 it will cost
