Vernier Pully Issue
Hi All,
I'm new to the web site and any help would be greatly appreciated and I'll try to be involved in the forums where possible. I think I have a problem with the CAM pully based on reading other posts, and would like to ask a couple of basic questions. I have had the rattle or brrr brrr sound coming from my engine top end for a week or so, it's fine when over 1500 rpm but worse when at idle. A local garage listened to the engine and advised a new oil filter and engine flush to see if it stops the rattle. My question is that at £50 for this, would I be better asking them to look at the pully first as I cant see an engin flush fixing this if thats what it is or would it?? If it is the pully, how much should I be looking at paying and is there any other reason (tappets maybe) that could be causing this? Many Thanks Lee |

Hard to say but £50 isn't too bad, unless you can do the work yourself of course and even if you can it wont be much cheaper than £50...
I'd go for that, then if you still have the problem ask them to knock the £50 off the cost of checking out the pulley? |

Thanks Enigma,
I'll try that and let you know if it sorts it. Just wondering if you know, is the pully oil operated? from the one I looked at they just seem like a cog? Apologies if thats a stupid question, never really touche the timing components in the past. Thanks Lee |

Not sure to be honest with you, my guess would be they are a 'cog' and driven off the timing belt (but I may be wrong)
