Melbel13 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Heya guys. I have an impreza sport. I think the tappets are !Removed!. How easy is this to sort? It's noisy and !Removed! embarrassing. Thanks in advance xx
Gambit Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Hi Mel You sure it's the tappets ? the cambelt tensioner sounds the same skip to 4 minutes 30 seconds can hear it
Jay762 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Hi Mel, any chance you could do a video and post it as that may help with the diagnosis. is the noise constant or does it change with the revs, does it change when the car warms up? Has this just happened or has it got progressively worse over time?
Melbel13 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Heya yeh It sounds a bit like that video actually. But it stops once the car has warmed up and better after higher revs. Yeh I will try to get a video either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks xx 1
Gambit Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Thats will be great Mel hopefully be able to get a better idea, not always the case but worth a shot. :)
Melbel13 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Okay so I have a video. Car not overly doing it . But how do I add a video? Xx
Gambit Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Will have to upload it to Youtube 1st then link it here :)
Ash007ks Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 when was the last time it was serviced, and whats the current mileage ? has it had a rebuild and is it down on power ?, cause the video is short in length its hard to tell, but could be just very noisy tappets which classics are known for or worst case it could be the crank, and it got noisy just as the revs where dropping.
Melbel13 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Service was about 4/5 months ago. It's literally big standard. It's only done just over 80,000 miles. I will try and get another video up a bit longer. X
Melbel13 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Http://youtu.be/DW-j42_S7Kk Bit longer and I think noisier!!
Gambit Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I don't think it's the tappets. I'm going to guess it's what I said first doesn't sound as bad as the bigends.
Melbel13 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Oki thanks. Good to have an idea before I imagine if get ripped off lol. You guys are helpful. Thanks xx
