whiring noise... oh phuck!

[lozz]

just heard a whiring noise on my car,
im thinking cam belt ,,,dread!

ive no service history or reciepts for this car ionly know of the work ive done,
totaly blind folded here,

anyone got a guide for cam belt change or no of anyone that wouid change it for us at a reasonable rate,
ihad to get rid of my last car because of the cambelt scenario idont want to have to bin this one as of the same result,
ive changed belts before on puggys but that was a 405 td dont know how differnt the hdi is

ideas please

[craigtd]

hi, the hdi is even easyier as you dont need to time the fuel pump up all you need to time up is the crank and the cam,but if i was you i would do it ASAP as it could let loose, it only takes about an hour to but make sure you change the water pump aswell or you could be doing the job again in a week or two.

PM jasper5 he is in east lancs not too far away from you Lozz and he is a god with the 406's,

he will give you a good honest price and i whole heartedly believe his workmanship is top notch, he has always received nothing but praise on here for his work.

*jasper you owe me a fiver i reckon for that singing endorsement

lozz send jasper5 a pm.

i bet no1 in lancashire will beat his price. he likes to help people out on the forum.

he charged me £60 to supply and fit bottom engine mount and 1 rear top link . yes supplied the parts and fitted them for £60

you see what i mean. top guy he will help you .

(i gave him a bit more than that tho to say thanks - £60 was a bit to less i thought)

iwill await his reply

[lozz]

Sorted !

guess what it was ?


the engine cover.. seems the original clips are needed to keep these down
strangely it wasnt a rattle tho it was making a whirring noise

atleast it wasnt a cambelt pulley screaming .. thank phuck ,

[highlander]

I'd still look at getting the cambelt changed - nothing ruins your day quite like that snapping... If in doubt...

it was changed at 70k its on 116k now so it shouid be ok for a bit,
iwill get it changed tho for peace of mind,
im just glad its not the tensioner or belt whirring its a bad time of month car tax is up at end of month etc

[jasper5]
