Blanny1 Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 FYI this is mainly when engine is cold and in mornings. Ticking gets quicker as i accelerate . Once engine has warmed up, the noise is barely audible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi....welcome to the Forum That sounds like a drivebelt or the tensioner bearing to me. Easiest way is to gently introduce some water to the belt and or tensioner, if the noise goes then its a dry belt or bearing. Let us know if this works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I would pop it into a reputable garage for them to check it over then, just in case it leads to something a bit more serious (cam chain, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
