Default Jaguar tinkerer

Have been reading posts on strange noises from front of engine. Your not crazy, instead of looking at the vvt, think outside the box, and what i found will come as a surprise.
Check the Harmonic Balancer, I did out of desperation and found it was the culprit. When i started the car in the AM. no noise, but later yes it was definatly there. It seems with what i found was the secondary pulley had come loose at the bolts and everytime i excelerated the noise was there, IT DROVE ME NUTS!!! Try looking outside the boxlike i did, and you will find YOU ARE NOT NUTS EITHER!!!

Welcome to the forum Jaguar Tinkerer,

The New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum is an opportunity for newly registered members to tell us something about themselves and their vehicle. It gives us the opportunity to extend a "welcome" and give some relevant advice on using the forums.

You have managed to avoid both of these. Perhaps you would care to follow up with something more specific in your next post ......

Graham

Hello,
"Boxes" are constraints created by unimaginative minds that limit creativity and independent thought. I avoid them.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
