[Nato_Nev]

ive got what sounds like tappets sound from my engine, its tike a ticking sound, as i havent had a clio in years i didnt know if this was normal. its not as loud as the old fiesta engines that had tappets.

any ideas or help

 

[Fred@BTM]

symptoms? only when hot?

 

[Nato_Nev]

ye when hot mate.

by any chance is this the fred thay use to work with yoz????

 

[Fred@BTM]

indeed it is! only does it at idle? sounds like a diesel?

 

[Rich!]

ooo, let me say it Fred!

dephaser!

 

[Nato_Nev]

No tickover is fineand no its not loud like a dirty D

not sure if you remember my cup. First one with the yoz cams. Done at gdi.

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah i remember the car, did a 14.4 1/4mile at santa pod

 

[Nato_Nev]

Ye thats it.

So whats the thoughts on the new one with the noise.

 

[Fred@BTM]

depends when it does it, is it consistent with engine speed?

 

[Nato_Nev]

Ye it goes quicker as the car does. Im takin the group n off this week so should hear it better. Its pretty loud at the mo. Tickover seems fine. Just when warm tick a ticking sound.

Does the ticking only come in when your engine is hot ?

Does the engine sound normal when driving, then once you stop for say more than 10secs+, the ticking comes back ?

If so i have the same problem and doing the dephaser wont sort it. Had mine done yesterday..

Your any closer to finding what it is?

 

[Nato_Nev]

sounds the same, im taking of the group n exhaust tommorrow as its too loud to hear, once the new one is on ill have a listen and let you know,

Charcoal cannister? Rev it when stationary. If that that it will clear for about 30/40 seconds then return. If it is that you will cry you had the dephaser changed for nothing

I had the dephaser changed hoping it would cure it. Obviously didnt though.

The noise does disappear when stationary and when i rev, give it a couple of secs and it will return. What is a charcoal cannister ? Whats its job, location.

Down in the drivers wheel arch. Its a solenoid that purges petrol vapours into the inlet iirc. The unit fills with water over time and then sounds 'tappy' About £50 for a new one. Do a search for Charcoal/carbon cannister. You could disconnect the multi plug to try it (see if the tapping stops). It may bring on an emission light though, but the car will run fine. They usually do it when stationary though, they kinda follow the revs, then disappear over say 4k

Where is the plug ?

 

[daddycool]

my tappet sound was a loose spark plug

 

[xSAMMIx]

I'm having the same trouble, took it to local garages and they haven't even heard of the dephaser pully?

 

[daddycool]

new garage time

edit: maybe that was a bit harsh. it's worth taking it to a specialist

not quite, but it can be done for over £200 less, including an oil and filter change, and both full belt kits

hi, i know this is an oldish thread, but i have all the symptoms of the carbon canister thing, only hear it in the car, goes away when reved for approx 30-60 secs. my idle is a little lumpy too.
how do you sort this and why is it caused?
you say it fills with water? can you not empty it?
cant seem to find much on this fault
