| It might be the idler for the air/con. I had a noise on the front end and it was the idler roller near the air con unit. Also sometimes the tensioner idler pulley for the air/con belt has lateral play.It is a very long belt for the air con side. Usually you get a Rumbling noise if the Main Bearings on the crankshaft are going or a knock that diappears when you put the engine under load if the Con Rod Big Ends are going. Is it constant or intermittant? If you have a metre long length of 15mm Copper Tube you can listen for the location of the noise safely whilst the engine is running. | |
