    Default weird noise in engine bay. 1.9cdti 120ps 2005

    Ok so apart from the struggling to start problems which i am looking into:-

    Glow plugs, Leak off pipes, Injector seals, battery, starter motor.

    I can here a loud noise coming from the drivers side of the engine bay, sounds as if its underneath where the air box is, sounds almost like a metal scraping on metal sound.

    Can anyone please recommend what this may be and how i go about fixing it.

    Many thanks
    Alex

    Check the crank pulley. These are a vibration damper with a rubber core, they split and the outer ring seperates from the inner.

    Mine used to struggle get your battery checked first before you do anything else, and as above it will be a pulley that's making the noise shouldn't be to costly if replaced sooner rather than later

    Thanks for the replies. I've been looking through the service book and I don't think the belt has ever been changed. 7 years/108,000 miles. Are the belt kits with pulleys on eBay any good?
