Urgent Help. My V6 Sounds like a Diesel!
« on: 18 July 2011, 16:22:48 »
Was perfect at the Midlands Meet yesterday. Today after a few miles noticed a rattling sound coming from the engine which got gradually worse. pulled over and gave it a few gentle revs and something sounded loose. Checked oil and its to the Max. Managed to get home but it got a little worse. Sounds like its coming from the front of the engine around the pulleys but i dont know.

Very concerned and i cant drive it in its current state.

Have you checked the water pump pulley bolts, they have been known to come loose.

Happy to have a look for cost of fuel.

Sounds to me like a cambelt tensioner has let go.

Not too serious then  .... a far better result than it could have been ... I'm guesing it now has, (or soon will have), a nice new water pump and timing belt kit ??  :)
