Hello again, when replacing cam sensor today I've found the source of a clicking sound coming from the engine since I bought my omega. I will paste a 20s long video taken today when I had all plastic belt protection away. It's a little metal part in the middle of the screen, moving  few mm up and down when engine works. Can't move it if engine isn't running. What is it / for and can it ruin something? I will paste video in next post

hard to see, but looks like aux belt tensioner?

I don't think so. This part is behind the main belt.....maybe I'm wrong, no offense sorry

  I think it's louder when engine is cold. Does it help?

mine has always clicked when cold but not noticed it after warm up - something to do with cat I think I read somewhere when looking it up

So it's common - this clicking?
