Sound, Bad Performance, What Next :(

[soultz]

so....this sound happens, sort of like a crunching noise. it happened when the car was off one day, and now its progressively gotten to the stage where it does it when the cars runnign now, and the car runs like a slug. had the car almost a year and i can honestly say ive never had it running properly for a week. can anyone tell me what this is so i can fix this POS once and for all???

it would be SO good if i knew what the problem was so i can fix it....

cheers

More details needed.

Does it increase with rpm?

Does it still happen with clutch in

Does it happen straight away on start up or after a few seconds.

Post a pic of ur engine bay. It sounds like a rotational noise from the fan or belts etc

[soultz]

same noise all the way through the rev range, doesnt get louder or quieter, sounds like its coming from the front of the engine i cant pinpoint it because the fan is spinning and will take my head off lol....happens with the clutch in yes, sometimes straight away other times after a bit.

Try removing the auxilary belts from front of the motor and start the engine. See if the noise is still there.

Also try using a stethascope of sorts to pinpoint the noise.

Has the timing belt been replaced?

Do you have a fuel pressure regulator? I had one fail and was making a similar noise
