      To be honest I haven't got as much experience as these guys but that sound didn't ever sound like a crankshaft noise to me, big end noise sounds deep and satisfying, the noise sounded like a much higher frequency however the sound recorded by a video camera and often the paint colour recorded by a video camera is often totally different to the actual perception of the individual viewing a live situation. There could be a lessen there. Record the sound of an engine aka the sound filtered out by an electronic device there might be clues there.

    You should pay attention when buying spare parts for this engine, especially the problem is the belt, which is much thinner on aftermket spare parts and can create a problem, there is not enough friction between the tensioner and the pulley on the water pump, so bether solution is to buy original belt it will last longer.

    Before the French get all the blame it's possibly worth remembering that the Prince engine was a joint design of PSA and BMW. Still a naff design though! Not a great fan of Napa parts - US cheapo brand. The garage who suspected big end failure were fair enough (unless they were a Peugeot dealer who should have known better by now) but whoever didn't spot the state of that belt during its last service (or that it should have been replaced by now anyway due to age/impending failure) does deserve an earbending.

    I have seen this issue 100s of times with bad belts. Basically that actuator comes in when the engine gets hot to then start circulating the coolant and as it’s squashing the belt on the pulleys that big gap in the belt is what’s making the noise as it’s thumping past the actuator is probably good just change the belt and the pump if it’s ok.

    Nice one guys What makes me mad apart from the customer didn't need another vehicle is if the customer went ahead and had the engine changed they'd of fixed the noise because I bet they'd change the parts you did " because they were there anyway working on it, and they are service items" .The customer would of never known the motor wasn't knackered and neither would the garage doing it unless they realized and kept quiet after.
    That pump drive systems got to be something to do with the emission's getting it to warm up quicker and stay warmer while driving so it don't pollute so much, it might save some fuel not using extra power turning the pump all the time to if it doesn't need to as well. I guess just blame the climate agenda for all that over complicated garbage to drive that water pump L.O.L. Take care guys

    Brilliant fix ! But what a stupid water pump design. And don’t forget it’s essentially a BMW engine , not a Peugeot .

  • @markhancox5475
    @markhancox5475 2 роки тому +3

    If it was a garage that said it needed a new engine that’s really bad on their part. If half of subscribers know this is a common fault a decent mechanic should know or at least diagnose it properly. Looks like a real flaky design though why not just use an electric water pump??

    Guys, I'm wondering if the belt was really thin in one place and it had the effect of the tensioner being "bumped" as the thin bit went by on the pulley? It might make that noise. Changing the belt first might have made an even cheaper fix!

    Well I done my apprenticeship in the 60s, I’m now in my 70s so I guess you can say I’m old school,but I’ve never heard a noise that accurately mimics a big end like that, it’s very true what they say, you never stop learning….well played again lads…😀

    The most common problem on that engine with that set up, just that bit missing from the belt causes that knocking noise… crazy isn’t it

  • @mrman17

    I suspect the noise was where the section with the missing ribs on that belt was getting pinched between the pulleys and tensioner wheel. It may have just needed a belt, but it was still worth putting the pump and tensioner on it anyway.

      I have the same car, had a similar sound coming from the engine. Luckily the mechanic is a cousin of mine as it was indeed only a damaged belt the culprit.
      Could easily have been ripped off.

  • @markopolo9559

  • @neilgott1168
    @neilgott1168 2 роки тому +4

    I think you will find the noise is where there is a chunk out of the belt because it drives off between that and the pulley
