Hi Guys,
Hoping for some feedback on an issue that has just come up with my NS did.
Short story is;
A rattle has appeared over the last few days that seems to be coming from the forward drivers side of the engine but only at idle. Sounds as though it could be tensioner or lifters.
When I say rattle it is a slapping or tapping type sound. The sound is not overly aggressive but it is enough to cause concern.
The car runs as normal, idle at about 600 rev and normal power under operation.
When revs hit about 900 the noise disappears.
Hoping someone may have experienced something similar and may be able to pin point the source before I am at the mercy of the MM.
Also wondering if I should risk driving to the MM?
I have given a bit of history below also;
Had been noticing for a few weeks a minor change to engine noise at traffic lights. Hard to describe as it is one of those things you are not quite sure if you are actually hearing or imagining. It basically sounded like it was idling a little rough, though rev's were constant at about 600 and car was otherwise running fine. Started to notice this after last service (180k km). Not sure if this is related to current issue but timing belts were checked at this service.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers ... Dave
