YAY! another noise. it's been a cracking month for me. no sooner have i fixed the grindy noise from the front (turned out to be a shitload of rust on the brake disc) i have now got a rythmic noise coming from inside the cambelt cover. i'm assuming this means cambelt change ASAP??

don't know tbh mate. the kid i bought it off never mentioned anything about all that stuff. his mate who works in an alfa garage did it apparently. it's deffo coming from inside the cam cover tho, not the aux belt. i'm scared to even start it up again to hear it! is it the belt or could it be something else? i have no idea with shit like this and i don't want to end up with a bust engine like on my Dturbo.

I'd take the cover off asap then tbh!

if it was done before you bought it there's a chance that just a belt alone was chucked on.

any ideas about what it could be? i mean, it'll be a garage job cos it's beyond my level of expertise so if they have to start messing about with that would i be better off getting the whole thing done? sorry for my stoopidity!

Its more than likely your water pump or even the tensioner. Take no chances, get a new kit and water pump fitted bud.

Thumbs up

Take the cover off have a look to see if the belt is ok then get it in the garage asap for a belt, tensioner, and pump change.

just got back from the garage and have been told that when we had the freeze earlier this month when i started the car the water pump has broke which has caused the cambelt to have play in it
which is causeing the cams to bounce around hence top end noise.He also said the belt could of come off anytime pppppheeeeeeeewwwwww thank god it never
