My 206 diesel 2003 has developed a loud ticking noise from the front drivers side engine bay. Had it for about a month now but it’s getting louder you can hear it in the car. The engine seems to run ok with no problems or lights on the dash and the ticking appears at idle 800rpm but disappears at 1200 rpm does any body know what could be causing this am I looking at a major repair job.

Assuming that you are in a RHD car, then that is the timing and aux belt area for it could be a tensioner or belt idler on the way out.
Either way I'd try and locate the problem and get it fixed. Losing a timing belt is pretty catastrophic for an engine!

have a look under the bonnet with the engine running snd see if you can narrow down where the sound is coming from. A good tip is to place a screwdriver to a surface and put your ear to the handle. You can hear what going on underneath. handy to listen to stuff. Just be careful not to hurt your self in any way. Use common sense!
