Hi everyone, had my 1.4 2002 dynamique for about 3 months now. When I first got it there was a slight ticking ticking noise coming from the left side of the engine, it sounds a little like this video I saw posted but not quite as loud and rattly if that makes sense.

The intermittent starting problems and smell of petrol coming from the exhaust when cold starting could be to do with the Coolant Temperature sensor, causing the engine to run rich resulting in the petrol smell. I don't really know whats causing the ticking sound, engine oil is up to level and has recently been replaced in a service. Has anyone else had similar problems? If so what was the solution because I can't really justify spending £600 for a dephaser pulley on a car that only cost me £1000.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
