Hey guys. In need of a bit of advice
I've got a 2012 1.6 VTi. Runs like a beast but I've got two issues. Firstly, I had a rattle from the timing chain which I've had replaced under warranty. They went ahead and replaced crank and cam sprockets, guides, chain and tensioner. They also changed the belt, but since these changes the engine makes a whistling noise that increases with revs. Took it back to them and they since changed the dynamic tensioner, although the whistling is still there :confused: I'm suspecting its the coolant pump friction wheel, as my water pump was replaced under recall at the beginning of the year. Any ideas?
Secondly, the key for my locknuts has disappeared while at the dealership, but they assured me they didn't remove the wheel when doing any of the above repairs, which doesn't seem right to me. Am i right in thinking the wheel and arch lining are removed to do a belt change?
Many thanks brainiacs!
