Rattling noise from engine





Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on what this annoying rattling could be on my 16V. I can only hear it from inside the car when it is idling or when on full lock it seems to get louder, could it be the bearings in my alternator, cant tell where it is coming from under the bonnet, just seems to be louder from inside the car ?

Vague I know but hope somebody else may have experienced this ?

Thanks
 


Yeah i have one on my 172 When i am on full lock it seems to make a kind of knocking noise, i also cannot tell where it is coming from. At first i thought it maybe a wheel bearing but i ruled that out by having them replaced.

It still seems to do it and is at its worse when going up the carpark ramps.
 
  Was a Clio 1.8 16v


Ive heard knocking on full lock is ur steering colum but a 172 shouldnt have that problem. Is there some slack when steering ur 16v Valver, eg. wont do anything (change direction) when only doing slight turns on the wheel?
