Hi I’ve recently had my timing belt changed, and water pump, started it up after and there is a weird rattle/knocking coming from the bottom end or flywheel area ,could it be caused by timing not being done correctly or oil pump ? Any ideas would be really helpful or someone that knows what they are doing to come help me please ???
Yes it ran before but it some sort rattle /knock which I thought was coming from the alternator, think this noise is different
you can use the digifant guide timing marker pics, same applies to g60: https://clubgti.com/forums/index.ph...ose-and-tune-your-mk2-digifant-gti-8v.124949/
Ah just the man I wanted to reply ,I really need your help ,I will pay you ,I need someone that knows what they are doing please
dont really have the free time these days unfortunate if you're near west London I recommend Darren Francis of vw enterprises or if you wanted to have a fiddle check my signature link for the 2 g60 setup documents pgidleco.pdf and pgigntiming.pdf once you're happy with all the basic stuff
What are the noises ? lifters and worn small end bushes will rattle as will worn pistons/bores,big end bearing will knock for example,main bearing are less audible and that will most likely show as poor oil pressure due to excessive clearance as will a bad oil pump. Could also be a loose flywheel or broken clutch but not seen that before with these...but you never know ?. When the engine is started cold the oil pressure light should switch off in a few seconds and it can do this just with the starter cranking if all is healthy...what is your oil light doing ??. IMO running this motor any more with strange noises isn't a great idea,so be careful,best to trailer this to a good mechanic as mentioned,good luck.
