	Cheers mate as for cambelt change, i didnt do it, previous owner did and I think water pump wasnt changed. cambelt kit changed but not water pump from details of receipts [Edited on 05-06-2006 by abdus]

	check the cambelt is tensioned properly. I had this once after 2k miles on an x16xe and it turned out that the tensioner was slightly out. remove the cambelt covers and turn the crank over twice. then check that the pointer is on 'used' on the tensioner. explained in detail in the haynes manual. could also check easyer things like pas pump, alternator, alternator belt tensioner etc... by removing the belt and running the engine without it fitted. if the noise is gone then it has narrowed down the possibilities. was the waterpump done with the timing belt? did you replace the tensioner and rollers?

	quote: Originally posted by Marc Check for anything thats loose, it could be that its only at around 3-4k that the vibrations from the car is enough to move it. checked, nothing seen to be such... and it's quite specific at 3.2-3.9k is it possible that is an electric connection or spark plug problem?:boggle:

	there's a ticking noise which you can here inside the car (like behind the dash) but outside too, near drivers wing at the bottom. it only happens at revs between 3.2-3.9... it's quite annoying now and there should be a problem i guess...any idea? thanks ENGINE: 1.4 16v yr 2000 PS. already used searched button, no precise result.
