When im driving it goes away and runs quite smoothly, if im stopped in drive its there still but not as loud.

 

Thanx

wow that sounds nasty. but would have to agree with mikey on the shells im afraid. and yea a real pain in the ass 2 do.

could be small ends, hard to tell listening through a pc

you can locate where the noise is coming from buy using a long screwdriver or something else all you do is put the screwdriver onto say the left bank and put ur ear on the end that will help you loads :)

vvt springs

Thanx for the worrying replies

Its yer Dads teeth rattling in the glass on top of the dash. :D

Ive put the screwdriver everywhere and had a listen, to be honest i dont know what its meant to sound like when its ok. Theres like a wirring noise coming from the sump, everywhere else i put it it doesnt seem to make a bad noise.

 

The rattling noise seems to be coming from in between the sump and gearbox - does that sound even more like big end shells?

Im taking it down to zedworld on the 5th of may, if it was ur car, would u drive it down (60miles ish) or would u take it on a trailer?

and when u say a nasty job, just how nasty are we talking about?

 

How much do i have to take off, replace etc.

I think the engine really has to come out?

I've heard you can do it by removing the subframe then sump, crank etc but not sure if it just makes the job harder to do?
