kezwaldo 0 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 ok some of you have prob seen my thread that i think vr has blown the engine was replaced 15,000 ago with one that had 100k on it and has been faultless the last year.I have a loud rattle from left side of engine when driving at generally all speeds and revs unless u drive like a grandad.i read a thread on here that it could be the tensioner bolt which i know is buggered beacause i took out yesterday and it sticks in when compressed and seems slighty bent to one side so thats def in need of replacing ! but i thought that would only solve my very slight chain noise that ive always had.what im really asking can the tensioner bolt be causing this other rattle to left of engine sort of below throttle body ?????? the car sounds fine idling and is still quick and pulling !!! ive heard this noise before and that engine had blown!!!!! :-( thanks to any one that can help or advise me i dont want to take the plunge of buying new engine if its something alot less hassle ........... thanks again Link to post Share on other sites
