Hi guys.
I have a big issue with the engine in my car. For the last week or so there has been a slight "ticking" noise from the engine. Sometimes the noise was louder/worse, but often just noticable. Did not seem to change wether the engine was cold or hot.
Then one day it suddenly "popped" and made an awfull sound (like a deeper rumble but loud) to go along with the "ticking", all power was lost and check engine light came on. Got the car home, and then it would not start. Checked the engine error code with a scanner and it said that the camshaft position sensor was faulty. I swapped it out, then the car starts, but it still makes the noise and has no power. The car does now start every time, but impossible to drive. (not showing any error codes or check engine light) It sounds really bad.
Also when i push the throttle, nothing happens unless i hold it in for a few seconds, then it revs a little bit. It is really not healthy, but I have no clue what it might be. Maybe one of you guys know something or have any idea of what it might be? :wacko: Taking it in to a workshop just for them to figure out would cost alot of money, so maybe if someone knew what this was, I could contact workshops for pricing of the repairs. (Money is really tight right now) :crazy1:
I'll leave a link to a video here where I tried to film what happens. Then you can hear the sound and see how the car responds when pushing the throttle.

I'd check all the intercooler hoses / turbo including the intake to turbo

Welcome Jaffen,
You are a very brave man to continue to run the engine after those events/ noises. You risk doing more damage. :sweating:

I have now checked all hoses, and all of them seem to be connected properly. But what I forgot to tell, that probably is good information for you guys is that the engine shakes really bad when idling. Maybe this helps.

Thank you, Dazzler.
Yeah, I know i probably should not run the engine when it is like this, but I really wanna figure out what is wrong and all that. And I am now starting to think that I may need to swap the engine :crazy1:

Hi Jaffen,
To avoid bias, I read post #1 and watched video. The engine seems to have a miss on a cylinder or a timing issue. The turbo is barely functional.
I read further and agree with tw re check turbo.
But how many kms,? Where does the noise come from? If front of the motor, I suggest that your timing chain has worn and has jumped a tooth or two................................?? best guess.
If you suspect timing chain, get it fixed. Breakage will cause major damage = kill the motor

I was wondering about timing too, but also wondering about compression test and inspection of the top end for any failures. What code number exactly did you scan
