Ph1 172 Sounding like a diesel

[MikeyK18]

Hi all,

Once my 172 has warmed up when its idling it is making a sound which makes it sound like a dirty derv, am i right in thinking that its the dephaser pulley??

If not then what could it be?

Thanks
Mike

Anyone have the part number for it?

8200 782 671

are they expensive and how long to fit? is it a garage jobby?

 

[MikeyK18]

Was in my local stealers this morning, can get the pulley for £117 but they want £250 to fit it!

They said they will have to change the timing belt to which i replied the belts were done at the beginning of the year

 

[mugglesquop]

improvement then?

 

[MikeyK18]

well....

I dont want to have to shell out for new belts as the ones that are in it are not even a year old yet, just my jew instincts kicking in! LOL

Search ''cambelt change'' then add the cost of a dephaser pulley on top. Your talking roughly 5 - 7 hour book time iirc and anything between 4 - 900 quid outlay

Always change the belts. They screw up and its bye bye engine

 

[caister]

I wouldn't want to be reusing the belts even if they are reasonable new

Any one know the long term effects of a clicky dephaser pulley? Other than a deisel sounding engine? I have a loud head at the moment :dapprove:

It'll s**t itself and you'll have a lot of bent valves.

Excellent! I love bent valves
