My engine go rattle

[RolyGTIR]

So in the end the car had 7 cam followers replaced under warranty. They were of varying states of wear and some were very faint, but they did them anyway.

On completion the car was quieter than ever, so must have been a growing problem. Still no real explanation other than the valve clearences were rather large according to the technician.

But I felt the car was somehow not pulling at the top end like it did before but I'd also spent two weeks driving 550 bhp so decided I was imagining it. But now just 120 miles later it rattles again, but this time it seems different and I'm sure when on idle if I lean into the top of the vanos and I can hear it rattle, but it sounds almost knocky in noise. So now I'm thinking that maybe the vanos wasn't built up properly.

I'm thinking about cutting my losses and finding the time to get it to Elms as its due an inspection in a few months time plus I can get them to check and sort this rattle properly under warranty. Who do I need to speak to to get the right advice from them? Or any other ideas?

Sorry to hear your having problems, Cooper Cobham had it in twice for rattling noise. Changed Alternator and pulleys first time then Vanos the second, very recently. They did the Inspection II as well.........
Hope you get it sorted, Emma & Gareth @ Elms is the way to go defo.
Thank f@*k for Warranty
