Ticking could be injectors or possibly a loose spark plug. Tapping is generally one or more bent valves.________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

If its had a head rebuild recently, what bottom pulley did the person use to time it back up? I hope the OE hasnt slipped as it'll be another head rebuild time  Bent valves ________________________________________ 205 GTI6- Rebuilt engine, lightened flywheel, lightened pulley, 307 hdi brakes, Koni struts on gravel spec springs, 22mm TB's, 24mm ARB, Roll cage, Citreon ZX rear dampers, SL434's, Xsara box, Quickrack, Pipercross enclosed induction kit.Private work, not a prob |

Yes these cars have Lambda's in the Cat, my decat has a lambda in it too, it will probably revert to overfuelling if theres no lambda plugged in to stay on the safe side. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

well its definately overfuelling because it gets very hot. The timing has been checked and its set right, same mechanic says there are no bent valves but he thinks its been run very low on oil at some stage in its life, forgot to ask him about the lambda on the de-cat, reason i think its not got one is that i got the cat in the boot of the car when i got the car and the lambda is still on it!________________________________________ OMP Strut Brace3" Stainless scorpian Remap Superchipped R.A.M Air Kit Running 170Bhp @ 6500rpm with cert www.gti6forum.co.uk |

If he's checked it using a standard pulley thats slipped, it will appear fine but valve/piston contact will of occured. It will all line up using the timing holes but the crank pulley may of slipped and when it's timed back up it will be in the wrong position.You can only be sure if you use a 205 8v pulley or a lightened pulley from Rich W. Only the smallest amount slipped will result in bent valves. ________________________________________ 205 GTI6- Rebuilt engine, lightened flywheel, lightened pulley, 307 hdi brakes, Koni struts on gravel spec springs, 22mm TB's, 24mm ARB, Roll cage, Citreon ZX rear dampers, SL434's, Xsara box, Quickrack, Pipercross enclosed induction kit.Private work, not a prob |

Is it more of a ticking or a pronounce tapping?Injectors are loud but not too loud. Do the mechanic mark the belt or use the cam pulleys and bottom pulley to time it? Whats the mileage on the engine/car? ________________________________________ 205 GTI6- Rebuilt engine, lightened flywheel, lightened pulley, 307 hdi brakes, Koni struts on gravel spec springs, 22mm TB's, 24mm ARB, Roll cage, Citreon ZX rear dampers, SL434's, Xsara box, Quickrack, Pipercross enclosed induction kit.Private work, not a prob |
