Ke30 3k

So i was driving last night, and all of a sudden a rattling/ticking type noise started coming from my engine bay, and now it doesn't run real well like the car jolts when I'm trying to accellerate.

A mate said it could be my Tappets?

 

I'm not sure was just wondering if anyone would have any idea on what it might be.

 

Appreciate it.

 

thanks.

Mine of the 4k is just a whole chunk of one piece metal pulley

[elwood]

hmm?

[philbey]

Some have a balancer some have a straight pulley.

[elwood]

well i took it to the mechanic and he said it must be internal because theres nothing on the outside he could see that was broken or anything.

hmm

anyone want to sell me a 4k or 5k engine ?

cheers.

Sounds like you've gone to a real useful mechanic?
