Title: anoying problem
Post by: steve85 on 09 March 2009, 22:24

got an anoying rattle but only when the water temp gets to around 90 degrees. is this a bearing in the water pump gone or is it the common exhaust problem? has anyone had this?????

is this bad? it only starts to make the rattle at 2k revs but is very anoying. didnt see how it could be the exhaust or downpipe loose when its fine first thing in the morning when cold. have heard it will be a big job if it is the water pump bearing due to it being run off the cambelt and very hard to get to.
