HELP rattle noises from front of engine
this week I've developed a rattling noise ( like 3 metal nuts being shaken in a tin can) in the front of the engine of my 89 S5 vert.
sounds like its coming from the pulleys . the tensioner pulleys wobble a bit when you pull on the top of them . I tried to tighten the pulley tension bolts and it reduuced the rattle a bit , but then came back ... could it be those bearings making that noise ????
or water pump bearings ?? ... or possibly the Pulsation dampner ?that was mentioned in a thread when I searched
its definately sounds like nuts in can noise that increases with engine rpm .
Car runs fine otherwise ... no idle or power issues , no transmission or clutch issues
WHAT RATTLES LIKE THAT ?
