Hi all.
I recently bought a 2002 Megane (2.0 16v petrol), and something slightly odd seems to be happening with it.
I'll say first of all that this issue doesn't affect the car or the performance in any way, it's merely just something I can hear - sometimes.
Occasionally, there is a slightly 'diesel-ish' noise when I drive the car. Sometimes it's there from the off, sometimes it doesn't happen at all, sometimes it happens after driving for 20 minutes or so.
The car seems to respond the same as it normally does, it just sounds a little more 'gritty' than usual, like a diesel perhaps but not nearly as loud. The noise also increases if I rev the car.
I've been reading about the dephaser pulley issue but I really don't think it's that. It doesn't always occur and it certainly doesn't sound anything like the examples I've heard on YouTube.
I don't really know much (read: anything) about engines, so any help will be appreciated!
Your thoughts chaps?
