Guest jamesgui Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I just had the timing belt replaced on my 95 TT. The engine was like a mouse chewing paper before,but now there is a strange rattle on idle. It comes and goes on tick over, and sounds like the front top of the engine. Its quite a heavy insidious rattle noise-just can't put my finger or ear on it. Any ideas would be appreciated. In advance James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jamesgui Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I am changing rattle to knock type noise......-:0 no rattle type knock?

D8MOA Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 bit of a strange one that, i would poss take the acc belt off and see if the noise goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 It sounds as though a component probably wasn't tightened up properly during re-assembly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 As above I think it could be the aux tensioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesgui Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I had the AC gassed a week ago,it was like Alaska in the car, since T/B fitted no AC....coincidence? You can clearly hear the AC kick in but just ambient outside temperature- NO AC! So in short, nice AC and quiet engine before timing belt, not knock and no AC!!! Should have done it myself but just out of hospital. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesgui Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Is there adjustment in the Aux tens? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Its just a big spring, but the bearings in the pulley start to go. Take the aux off and run the engine, if the noise stops then its something in the aux belt run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesgui Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 just unbolt it and run the engine? is that the tensioner with the bit angling upward to below the camshafts? Thanks very much for your imput James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Take it youre not mechanically minded lol. Take it back to the place that did the belt and get them to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesgui Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 They said it was my imagination , if its easy to take off, I can do it myself-just want to make sure I don't make any mistakes.... a few tips would be helpful.... james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Excuse my poor editing of the photo but the aux tensioner and its pulley are arrowed in red, push the pulley in the direction of the blue arrow to take the tension off the belt then remove the belt highlighted in yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
