running issues. real bad

[james walker]

got 1 or 2 issues at the minute

1.whining noise, the cambelt area sounds rough as a tractor
2.engine making loudish ticking noise when im under the bonnet
3.loud whistle on full boost
crap cv joint
steering feels shite


and today abs/tc light came on.....grrh

done logs on vagcom and had high correction factors, which seem to be getting better now

on number 1 would a worn tensioner bearing give a loud whine on acceleration and judging by the tractor sound coming from under the cam cover these are shot??

number 2..whats the verdict on ticking noise, not coming from the carbon canister area??

number 3, noticed today, from the n249 bypass the hose that originally went to the dv top has slight air leak, if i plug with finger it stops... any ideas what issues this could cause me?? IE noise on boost, rough running etc etc?

cv joint will be done no isssues

any theories on the steering? maybe worn rack bush?

pissed off with the cupra at the minute tbh.

moan moan

vagcom returned abs front left sensor... easy that one then.

 

[traumapat]

Depending on how shot the tensioner is it will be noisey... mine was.
could it also be creating a ticking? same problem?

 

[james walker]

it is bloody noisey tbh.

could be causing the ticking. sounds like its coming from the block though, coilpack area?

what issues could the n249 bypass pipe create guys?

not blowing mine own tumpet my n249 by pass sound dont think every 1 would do it if it was trouble cos nearly every 1 as and thats alot of moneys worth of cars

wtf?????? stella typing??

 

[LEE69]

Seriously them noises might be the tensioner breaking down, and we know what happens then.
Tread carefully mate.

 

[james walker]

tbh, irresponsible i know, been like it for a while.. not got louder or anything..

will get a cam change done anyways.

 

[james walker]

p.s is it worth just changing the tensioner? i know the cam has to come off, but its way way off replacement date yet... thinking of labour costs tbh

 

[Willie]

Change it
Also the injectors tick, might be them that you've just not noticed before??

 

[james walker]

yeah, cam kit from sere comes in at same price as a tensioner.

yeah its them thats ticking, maybe just noticing things more now.

 

[traumapat]

id do the lot unless its silly cheap to just do tensioner. too important.

Ive known a few struggle with n249 bypass but nothing ticky lol

 

[james walker]

i know i know, im gonna do the whole change.

n249, its the pipe that you remove from the top of the dv and plug...


hissing and air escaping from this plug. so obviously not plugged correctly.

any ideas what issues this may cause and what pipe it is that ets blanked off??

 

[JamesL]

my steering is shocking atm too, need to get that looked at I think...

Are you sure you've done this right.
The DV needs it's vac supply to lift it.
My DV was liked to a supply under the intake manifold

 

[mikeholroyd]

I wouldn't even think of just having a cambelt tensioner done. By the time you've had labour to sort that out, you might as well have had a full kit as well. And there's peace of mind knowing everything will be OK afterwards.

Also, you said it's not time for cambelt change yet, but when it is, that's ANOTHER tensioner you'd have to replace at that time.

Nah, you'd be throwing your cash away by only doing half a job

dv comes from under inlet manny, yeah its done right willie... just a split pipe where it was clamped off.
