knocking at front of car - camoturd - 18-02-2014
Hi guys quick question I have a knocking noise from my engine bay on drivers side. The speed of knocking increases on acceleration. What could it be?
On a side note I have just done CAMBELT KIT and aux belt tensioner and idler could it be that is knocking

Does it increase relative to engine speed or to road speed?
RE: knocking at front of car - camoturd - 19-02-2014
Engine speed

Get light between the engine and inner bay and see if anything is hitting
RE: knocking at front of car - camoturd - 19-02-2014
Yeah its is strange if it was anywhere else I would of thought it was a tappet
Bit have noticed it starts at about 2500 rpm and dies at 4000 rpm and happens under heavy acceleration

Take aux belt off.
If noise dissapears then its on the aux setup
RE: knocking at front of car - camoturd - 19-02-2014
Ok will do that

Could be.injectors worn on hdi
Have a light tapping noise under load up until around 3200rpm usually?
I did changed injectors and.noise gone

Is that quiet a normal problem then
RE: knocking at front of car - Poodle - 20-02-2014
What youre describing sounds nothing like injectors.
It doesn't sound good though, is your crank pulley all good?
RE: knocking at front of car - camoturd - 20-02-2014
No idea how to tell if it's not
RE: knocking at front of car - E_KEL95 - 20-02-2014
Sorry for the thread hijack but ive a knock from my front drivers well when turning, theres a couple of wee knocks when youve the wheel turned fully right and turning tight ie swinging the car round in a carpark my initial thought was droplinks?
RE: knocking at front of car - andywhy - 20-02-2014
Could be CV joint if it only happens when turning.
RE: knocking at front of car - C2K - 20-02-2014
Crank pulley yo.

So are you saying it could be the crank pulley then?
RE: knocking at front of car - Poodle - 20-02-2014
Get the drivers side in the air and take the front wheel off. Have a look at the pulley with the engine running, if its knackered it'll wobble or run off-centre, there'll probably be rust marks and perishing too.

Ah fair enough I will do that when I change the wheels over as it 9 nay started after doing the aux tensioner and idler so it could be the crank pully as I changed the bolt that holds it on but not the pulley it's self
