    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    So nothing new mod wise in the last month.. but the Gordini sailed through its MOT last week with no advisories at all [emoji108] I've done 6k miles now since I got the car so I've just this morning done an interim oil change. I was going to have a look at getting under it to do it via the sump...

    Engine Knocking/Tapping Noise

    New belt fitted and problem solved! The massive chuck missing from the grooves must have been causing the tapping noise.

    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    It's fixed! Auxiliary/drive belt was fucked! So I've followed the guide and swapped it for a new one and surprise the noise has gone! £19 Now to sort a track day or 2 before Xmas... What's annoying is that I bought the car from an Arnold Clark in May and they supposedly changed the cambelt...

    Engine Knocking/Tapping Noise

    A couple of vids, one with the belt on, the other with it removed and the knocking noise is gone. So now I just need to pick up a new belt and refit! If you check out this quite recent thread it looks to be the same issue...

    Walker's Gordini - Number 8

    New Gordini dials fitted! Didn't take that long, just a bit of faffing about.. Probably no more spending on it for a bit as I need to find out what's making this noise and get it sorted as I want to do some track days soon..! http://www.clio197.net/threads/funny-engine-noise.60811/ Sent...

    Engine Knocking/Tapping Noise

    Is this as easy as it sounds or am I looking at jacking up, wheel off and arch liner? Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk

    Engine Knocking/Tapping Noise

    Ok thanks for that. I will look how to do that and see then as I wasn't sure when it was suggested earlier! I've just got a better video of the noise in that area which is just uploading now so I'll post it shortly.. would the air con pump noise change if I turned the air con on? The noise...

    Engine Knocking/Tapping Noise

    Are any of these issues likely to throw up a fault code if I plug in my diagnostic tool? Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk

    Engine Knocking/Tapping Noise

    Thanks for that [emoji106]. This is what I was picturing.. would there be any other signs if this was happening other than the noise? Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk

    Engine Knocking/Tapping Noise

    To be fair I imagined it to be where you are describing.. As I said though the noise isn't coming from the top of the engine.. it doesn't sound like it is the engine block itself it's coming from the left hand side down the bottom near the belts as far as I can tell.. but I'm obviously no...

    It's fine as I have no clue what a follower/lifter is or where it would be located [emoji85][emoji1787] Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk

    Engine Knocking/Tapping Noise

    I don't think it sounds like that though.. the noise location seems to be from the front drivers side, near the belts etc.. I tried to take it to a Renault specialist on the way home from work today.. they shut at 12 on Saturdays but were shut when I got there at 11:30! So I took it to a...

    Engine Knocking/Tapping Noise

    I'm hoping it's nothing sinister.. The video's pick up the sound really well, and you can hear it as it sounds when next to or sat in the car. There's no issues with performance and the car is running fine. You can't hear anything whilst driving, just stationary and low speeds. Sent from...

    Engine Knocking/Tapping Noise

    Afternoon So I posted in a thread earlier about a possible manifold/flexi blow.. as my cars been making a funny noise that I've noticed more over the last couple of days. It's hard to describe, like a tapping noise that gets louder with revs. It's only noticeable at low speeds, when driving...
