ratling engine

[Jaymz]

are felicias engines spose to sound so ratley i think its the belt thats loud but dunno if it spose to be or if theres any way to make it quiet lol i know its a silly question but im a silly person ....help! lol

if its a 1.3 engine then it will be the timing chain.

they allways rattle as there isnt a tensioner fitted to them.

nothing serious will probably rattle on like that for hundreds of thousands of miles, but if it bothers you that much you can do what i have and buy a timing chain kit and all the other bits and replace the chain. havent got round to doing it yet as a pig of a job to do.

hope this helps.

Alright mate

Welcome to the world of Skoda rattles.

You will need the following to do it yourself:

Sump gasket (15-20 quid)

Timing cover gasket (couple of quid)

Oil pump gasket (pence)

Timing chain and sprockets (

Oh forgot to mention to make sure that you have the valve clearences right first as they wont help if tolerences are out.

TBH Skoda timing chains are pretty easy to replace, a garage should be able to do it in 2-3 hours fairly easily.

There's a seller on Ebay called Jorily Skoda who'll help you out and the parts seem very cheap too I am considering doing the same on my favorit.
