What is this noise? (Video included)
« on: 28 February 2018, 08:50 »
Hi all,

Apologies if this is a rudimentary question, but I don't know that much about engines.

Can anyone tell me why my engine sounds like this:

Many thanks.

Possible bearings in water pump/tensioner worn as it seems to be coming from that area...
