NC: Engine Rattle

Postby JBT » Thu Sep 13, 2012 4:04 pm

Strange rattle noise coming from the front of your engine :?: It could be the serpentine belt tensioner pulley or idler pulley. I just replaced mine, what a difference...silence at last. :D

I have the same rattle in my BP-ZE. One of the bearings has crapped itself in 30,000km from new. Grrr! :x
