Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / August 2005Noisy tappets on a petrol 1.6 xs its a 306, year is 1998, with 60k on the clock
My 306 is making a lot of noise from its tappets, i have shown it to a few garages, and they told me its the tappets which need adjusting, so i got them adjusted to the correct setting, the garage had around three attempts and he just couldnt get rid of the noise, which only made the noise a billion times worse, (sounded like a fiesta) so i got it put back to what it was. Has any 1 every expirenced this problem on a petrol 1.6 306, i have booked it in with peugout to see what they reckon, and the car has done 60k if thats any help I also had the headgasket replaced to rectify an oil leak, along with a new timing belt,not certain if any of these may have caused it, but the noise has only started after all this was done. Could it be any thing to do with the timing belt maybe, or causing incorrect timing?, as i am lost for words now??? Any help appreciated, thanks > My 306 is making a lot of noise from its tappets, i have shown it to a > few [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Any help appreciated, > thanks If it only started after the head was removed and replaced, one explanation might (actually, not might - it's the obvious one) be that the valve timing is out by a tooth and the valves are just touching the pistons. Those with a better knowledge of this particular engine than I will tell you if this is possible or not.

Those with Not really knowing TU's I'd say it's possible, and even likely if they tried to set valve clearance with no joy. Quite easy to check, put the engine in position (one pin into the flywheel, one 8mm bolt trought the camshaft pulley - brings the engine to the belt change position). If you can't achieve this, then there's something wrong with timing.

TBH it's likely to come from timing to me, as you said it just came after a hard change. And I wouldn't play with fire if I were you. Don't try to take it for fast drives & / or wide range trips once sorted, IMO. HTH, G.T g.t6@worldonline.fr 205 Diesel & turbo-Diesel : www.205d.com |
