Recommended Posts

Hi,

My Lupo 1.4s BBY engine is making a sound like something is rubbing when being revved. And had resonantly has been feeling like it's been holding back on power. Plus there was a tapping noise from the top of the engine the other day..

Any help please

First step is to try to localise the source, you can use a large screwdriver to act as a probe an put your ear to the end and listen for the noise .

Might be worth disconnecting the auxilliary drive belt, that will allow you to see if it's engine or alternator / power stering pump /air con if fittted. obviously don't run for too long with no alternator

don't forget to check for relase bearing noise as well
