1.8 tickover question...

[tomh]

Right on tickover my car every now and again makes a strange noise from metal part at the the back of the engine best way to describe the sound is like it realesing air noise

Ive added a vid but its not very clear but you might have heard of this before on the 1.8

Lmao an engine fart. Does it just do it on tickover?

[tomh]

Only noticed as I picked the car up and battery was flat so left running outside the house so not sure as its a bit hesitant so it can go back the garage if I can't find out lol

when first got this one 04 1.8 it was doing the same sort of noise, how ever I had the cam/ aux belts/water pump done, and no more car farts, get the odd squeeeeel fron aux belt in cold wearther, belt dressing sorts this.

just wondering, did you have the aircon on while you video'd this? i only ask as when the electro-magnetic clutch on the aircon compressor engages, it'd put a small strain on the aux belt, which may be the cause of this noise, or it may be the clutch on its way out. i only say this as my works vehicle makes a similar noise when the aircon compressor clutch engages when the engines under load.

haha that does sound quite funny, hope you get it sorted.

Sounds very much like a noise I some times get, when I have air con on, at tickover.
Freaked me out at first, now I dont even notice it.

nope aircon was not on fella, unless it thinks it is lol

I also have another issue its juddering, went to overtake in 3rd foot down and it just judders, ill take it back the garage next week but is there any obvious things i could check as its doing it all the time now.

Thanks guys

When was the last service? It could be a spark plug or the coilpack on the way out if there's a judder. Try unplugging the MAF, the car will resort to a base map that will be a little down on power and not feel the same as normal but if it's a knackered MAF, doing this will rule it out.
