strange noise when revs decrease

Post by House »

Hi all,

Recently had my engine rebuilt after the dreaded time chain tensioner fault :grumpy: Everything is fine although I have since noticed a noise when revving. It is more noticeable from outside the car when the revs are decreasing. I am going to take it back to the garage for them to have a look, but thought I would check on here first.

Here is a quick link to the sound recording...

Sounds like it is coming from the exhaust. The recording was taken from below the drivers door.

Every little noise makes me worry now as I had wish I had taken notice of the slight rattle for a couple of secs when starting. If only I had that checked out or checked on here, I might have avoided the engine damage :(

Thanks in advance for your help.
