Head scratcher.....12v 520i clankey question...
Discussion
Hi folks,
Bit confused here, there's a funny noise coming from the snotter.
It's a G reg 52Oi. I have just put a new idle control valve, and since I put it on there is a metallic clanking from the front top ish bit of the engine. I'm sure it isn't from under the rocker cover, more near the fan area. Dave (numbnuts) reckons it may be the tensioner or water pump.
Prior to taking the front covers off, is there something that can drop off and rattle around. It's a sound that only manifests itself at about 1500 rpm and literally sounds like a ballbearing rattling round in a saucepan, below and above those revs it isn't there.
Odd noise indeed....clank clank brrr rattle rattle
