alright folks
ive recently got this noise coming from around the cambelt area.
at first i thought it was the heat shield vibrating but having a closer look seems like its coming from the cambelt. only happens at a certain amount of revs or when coming down the revs.
any help or any ideas what it could be cost e.t.c.
cheers

when was the cambelt last done?

the cambelt wont make noise.
it could be a tensioner that holds the cambelt in place

not really mate.
if you take the cambelt cover off you may be able to see/hear wher the noise is coming from
i woulnt recomend doing it yourself though if unsure, as timing can fuck your engine bigtime if you fuck it up lol
