c180 engine knock

[dhk284]

Hi I seem to of found that there is a knocking noise coming from the front of my engine, the first thing I thought of was tapits then pushrods and last of all BIGEND bearings (I don't like that one) has anyone got any other ideas and if it is the bigend would it be easier to change engines or scrap the car.

Chain could be on the way out, no pushrods.

Engines are £150 for decent used ones, so no need to spend a fortune on your old engine.

Thanks I will start looking what size engine do you think will just slot in.

I've got a C180 engine you can have for £150, if you've got a 1.8 in it you may as well fit another 1.8.

Take the auxiliary belt off see if the noise disappears.





Sorry Nick

Thanks Nick I would rather get the engine from some one that is an enthusiast like myself how many miles has the engine done or has the timing chain been chainged, I will be in a possition at the end of the month. The one thing I have been thinking is can I get a rebuild kit thus giving me a second engine to fall back on I did think of putting a C200 Kompressor just for the extra power, but there is more to go wrong with them and more work to puting it in. Thank you again.
