Hi all,
Since buying my 2006 2.2 i-cdti a month ago, it has had a new clutch, new manifold (thanks to Honda) and a leaking injector seal replaced...
Car is running well (albeit with a tiny hesitation on low acceleration - EGR is going to be cleaned out next week, thanks to the great How-to guides and advice on here, so hopefully that'll improve things, as I doubt it's been cleaned out in its 95,000 mile lifetime!)
Just one thing remains, and it's baffling me. There seems to be a scratchy, metallic sound coming from the top of the Aux Belt pulleys. It's loud enough to be heard over the usual chug of the diesel lump and I'm just not sure if I should be hearing this? Can someone please tell me if it sounds ok and like the other 2.2s? I've not owned a diesel before so, sorry for the pure ignorance.
Other threads (Type R) suggest the PCV valve failing, but does the 2.2 have a PCV valve?
It doesn't sound like a timing chain rattle or anything, more like a rubbing. Perhaps a bearing?
Anyway, took a video of it; the last few seconds give the 'true-est' sound it's making.
Thanks for any advice or ideas.
