V-Dub 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Hi guys, bit of advice needed. Got a dodgy noise coming from the engine of my 1.8 16v, it sort of sounds sort of like a metalic rattle which only come's in at about 3500rpm but then goes away just after 4000rpm. Thought it might be a loose cam chain, does this sound right or am i way off??? p.s Anybody know where i can get a new bonnet release cable as mine just snapped!

CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Is it not a exhaust heat shield vibrating? I doubt very much that the chain for the cams would be so worn and slack it would rattle mate. Try Gsf for the cable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
