Davcohen!!! Got EXACTLY the same problem as what you're having. Same sound but have it through idle and general cruising around in the car. ONLY time I don't hear it is under hard acceleration. But that's more likely to it being drowned out rather than actually not occuring. LOL. Really ticking me off. | |

the pointer on the cambelt tensioner sometimes tapp against the waterpump on the small xe's when the engine is revved .. might need the pointer bending back a tiny bit .. or if you dont use the new bolt with the new tensioner it will make a noise too .. old bolts are normal ones and new one has a star drive head .. if you use old 1 on new tensioner the bolt rubs the crank pulley and makes a noise too | |

I have the same issue on my X16XE engine. Just replaced the cambelt and tensioned up correctly. Replaced the lifters thinking it was them "tapping" also. But to no joy. Still the noise. Suppose it could be either the tensioner uni (but that was new around 8k miles ago). So i'm guessing it could be the water pump. Or maybe it could be the tensioner and was ajust a naff one. Seems quite a few people have this issue. Will look out for answers to this. :thumbs: | |

as above, my x14xe was making this noise, turned out to be the timing belt tensioners. may as well replace the water pump while you're at it | |

if it is timing belt related you need to get is sorted now if the belt or tensioner fails you will be looking at a very big repair bill, more than likely it will scrap the engine | |

will check that out aswel, seems weird but the noise seems as if its coming from behind the glove box (obviously not the glove box or its contents) | |
