Rattle start-up/load
Hi all,
My V50 T5 has started making a loud metallic rattle noise at start-up (noticeable while the engine idles at higher rpm briefly) and when under load. It's as I would expect for an aux belt but it's more of a rattle than a screech. I've done a search and there a few suggestions, the most relevant appearing to be alternator pulley. I don't think its the famous PCV issues, as it's more of a rattle than a whistle/whine. The car had timing belt and water pump replaced by garage I purchased from, during the sale, but I suspect they just changed the belt rather than all the pulleys as they've used an aftermarket belt (that'll tech me for driving a hard bargain!) Has anyone else had these symptoms, and if so am I on the right track here? Thanks, |
