Apologies a simple google search answered my question

Are you able to simplify this for me possibly? Does this mean that my alternator or clutch is dodgy? Or just the pulley? Should I even bother replacing the tensioner or should I do that first as process of elimination? Cheers

Upon further inspection it seems to be the tensioner pulley as the lower part is bouncing. Any recommendations on where to buy a new one? I know I should probably replace all the pulleys while I’m there but I’m on a budget. Cheers

Hey guys I’ve got a worn pulley, on idle I have a wobbly noise and occasional belt squeak so I’ll be replacing that (I think it’s the idler pulley not 100% sure yet.) I’ll replace the belt too while I’m there. If it’s a pulley is there a chance I’ll hear the same sort of wobbly noise whilst...

Did the pcv about a year ago but I guess it could be due for a clean, and will get the solenoid done. Really appreciate your help

Would appreciate your professional opinion @Fu Manchu

Only thing was not being able to start the car 99% of the time, and continuous tried caused a rear parker globe to blow but that’s about it. Hope you get it sorted

I was getting a single click when attempting to start with my dodgy key, the dash lights would also go out as I attempted to crank but I think that was also due to lack of power attempting to start multiple times throughout the day

Do you have a spare car key? I had an issue with my VE last year where the battery in my key fob had enough to unlock and lock the car but not enough to make contact in my ignition. New battery and it started first go

Thanks mate do you know why it’s suddenly started ticking? Is it because I knocked it? I had to move it around a fair bit to get to the last spark plug so maybe I’ve messed it up? Surely I haven’t stuffed it lol

Hey guys I’ve completed the spark plug change and used a new metal gasket. As a final result I am now experience a ticking noise from the device that I will provide a picture for (unsure of the part name). The noise didn’t persist beforehand

Thanks krusing. How are the metal ones from revhigh? They’re on sale atm so might grab those if they’re good

Hey all I’ve got a question regarding changing my spark plugs + gaskets. I’m a newbie but I’ve done some research and bought spark plugs and all the tools I need to get the job done. My 08 omega has most of the spark plugs accessible except I’ll need to take the manifold off or move it to get...

Managed to get it disconnected and the PCV out, was not a pretty job though :)
