Sounds like bottom end to me too in the video, but it might not be if you say it sounds totally different in the flesh Aaron...A bottom end which is not too badly damaged would probably go on for 200miles+ if you weren't driving it hard, however, the 3-bolt design vernier pulleys wouldn't last that long, as once they shatter the cambelt would be thrown pretty soon afterwards. Definitely worth a check though. In answer to your question Aaron, the earlier design pulley generally fails where the three small 10mm bolts go through the pulley, it cracks around the bolt holes and then fails completely. Good luck Mich, keep us updated. Stan.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

I would be surprised if it had the three bolt pulley design as it's a Phase III (V reg iirc) - unless the engine has been swapped before________________________________________ GaryCherry Red GTi 6 |

Its an s plate phase 2. Ah, it sounds as if a lifter is loose in it collet or something like that and is very high up the engine or so it appears at least. Very strange. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Reduced load on the engine, point to big end issues. I had a RS escort once that did the big ends due to oil surge on a trackday. Drove back from Donington at 40mph and it hardly rattled at all on the overrun or down hills. What were you doing when you noticed the noise? ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

You might as well just start budgeting for a replacement engine if you keep on driving.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

A f*cked bottom end would go on much longer than a broken up cam pulley would. I don't know about these engines but I've heard diesels with a knocking bottom end still going 6 months later. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

I wouldnt be driving it full stop.My luck would be the rod would end up exiting the block, straight through the air con pipes and rad for good measure. At the moment its fixable without too much expense. If it lets go completley, its a different story ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

much the same, though you can't guarantee how long a replacement engine will last, if you are going to use the car I'd rebuild, if you're going to chuck it soon dump an used one in.bottom end bearings £100, regrind £100 (as its been knocking it will need one) second hand conrod, few quid (because the bearing spun and made the rod oval) check the head+ skim if req, £100. head gasket £40, bolts £15. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

It happened last week when my acelarator got stuck on 4-5000 revs, it did it the week before and stuck on 6000 revs (but was fine that time). It is going to a garage on Wednesday just down the road from me. I will stop driving it________________________________________ |

Other option is buy a late Xsara VTS for a few hundred quid and then you can test the engine first at least, Then just swap them over________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |
