3.2 Carrera engine noise
All right this kind of happened all of the sudden on start up. For a few day prior I thought I was heading it at light throttle around 3K rpm, but felt like maybe it was alternator bearing or fan noise. Anyways, parked yesterday afternoon and got back in a few hours later, started it up and this is what I heard. It sounds far to loud to be a tensioner, but who knows. No change in the way it runs, and intermittently at idle it goes away.
From the back you can tell it’s not from an accessory, sound more like its coming from the other end or right under the manifold. Haven’t got a stethoscope but planning to grab one and do some digging but wanted to see who else may have experienced and solved something similar. https://youtu.be/OCyPb0m9LOo Cheers! |

hi ,ok stop it now(the engine)and start taking the front of the engine apart.That is the chain housing cover.You have collapsed chain tensioner one or two you will see...not a big deal to do but you have to be careful.Once you are at it and see them report here and we will guide you trough it
