#1: 206 GTi 180 - tapping / knocking issues Author: aki-one, Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 3:57 am ---- Hi all,
Newbie to the forum, had my pug for about 10 months now, great car, but having some issues. Can anyone help?
I noticed an oil leak around my rocker cover and had the rocker cover gasket replaced. After that noticed another leak around the head (not the head gasket) but somewhere below the rocker cover, so had to get that fixed. On doing so the garage advised that part of the camshaft needed to come out to get to the seals/gaskets below, so the cambelt and water pump were coming off. Since that was the case I got them to fit a new cambelt and water pump as it needed doing.
Got the car back, noticed a constant tapping / knocking sound as soon as tick the engine over and it stays, sounds tappety or diesely, which the car shouldn't, it used to purr. No engine pull below 4000rpm either.
Took it back to the garage, they took apart the head, re-replaced the cambelt kit, waterpump, waterpump backhousing, took apart the inlet manifold, cleaned and replaced the gaskets. Redone all the timing meticulously and it still sounds the same with no pull. It sounds painfull. Took it for a 2hour cruise doing 50mph on 'A road' to get it to run in, but no change.
According to the garage the tappets look fine, and although hydrolic, are non-adjustable because they're 'self-adjusting'
Anyone else had the same issue, or any idea's what it might be??
I'm at a loss.
Cheers for any help....
