cheesey Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Hi guy's wonder if anyone can shine some light on this issue for me please.On tick over there is a slight rattling noise that seems to be coming from near the alt belt and cam cover, it's more noticeable when driving, i have noticed that the small silver tensioner pulley is either lose or on it's last leg's but have been told not to change it until it's totally nackered.Could this be the cause of the rattling sound or possibly something else ?RegardsScott Edited February 20, 2013 by cheesey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1cr08472 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Why wait until its totally knackered before replacing it? What if it goes completely and takes something else out with it. I would take your alternator belt off and check for excessive play on all the pulleys. You could start your engine with the alternator belt off and see if the rattling noise goes away. Just don't run it for to long with the belt off or your battery will go flat and I think it turns the power steering pump as well so no power steering with the belt off.
