Hello All,
I have a 2006 Getz CRTD. It is currently on 154k, and runs very well. Starts perfectly everytime. Hot/Cold/Warm
I have heard a little noise from the engine, so I am posting to see if it is a common/known problem (save me changing loads of bits to find out it is something simple and well documented!)
I know it is difficult to describe a noise but I'll do my best...
When the car is idling, every couple of seconds you hear a little (scrape/scratch/rattle) sound. Sounds like a Tap, but isn't as harsh as a Tap. The noise lasts 1/2 second, if that. (Reminds me of the noise a hamster makes in its wheel)
When driving, the noise gets slightly louder when accelerating up to 2000-2500rpm - Other than this slight increase in noise, it doesn't seem to relate to the engine speed/load (if that makes sense)
When cruising, you can hear the noise quietly every couple/few seconds.
It seems to be coming from the Aux belt side of the engine, but I can't pinpoint where it is.
The car is 2000 miles overdue an oil change (which is being done soon as) - I have read that these engines do make noises when the oil is a bit old.
Or possibly the Waterpump failing - How often does the waterpump require changing? I can't find any info regarding this.
Thanks in advance, if you need any more info, please ask away!
