VEEDUBBED 0 Posted July 8, 2007 I had the same problem on my G60/16v engine,it was def. the the tensioners the tension the ribbed G60 charger/alt belt so i stripped the tensioners and took off the small brass coloured washer located on the back of the tensioner and re-packed the bearings with fresh grease.This worked for a while but the tapping returned,my engine's tapping is very iiregular,sometimes it does'nt tap at all.God knows how much the tensioners cost from the stealer... I've never known a cam belt tensioner to tap,they either work or sometimes sieze!,another short term remedy involves spraying the tensioners with WD-40 or simileur while the engine's running,the tapping noise instantly vanishes but not for long. HTH. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
