that doesnt sound like a rattle man more like a knock
well knock or rattle its starting to worry me....It only really happens at idle and goes away when i drive but soon as i stop its back. Im meant to be driving down to canberra at christmas really need to get it fixed
Also if try really hard i can turn my harmonic balancer about 4cm at a time should i be able to do this??

My VS II Berlina Wagon
MY12 II SV6 Sportwagon
just did a diagnostic and it come up with error codes 46, 47, 49

they are all cas codes they may be old ones reset the ecu by dissconnecting the battery and recheck codes .if it is hitting the cas its not gonna last long

just checked the codes and this is what they are
Code 46 - No Reference Signals while cranking
Code 47 - Crank Angle Reference Signal
Code 49 - Crank or Cam angle Sensor Intermittent
if it was being hit by the balancer these would make sense wouldnt you think??
stuffed this post up posted proper post underneath sorry fellas
yep i did that before i checked the codes, so they are all brand new codesOriginally Posted by delcowizzid

did you make sure there were no codes before starting the car to make it log codes sometimes they dont clear on the vs

no forgot but i did disconnect the positive and negative for around 15 mins that should have done it? ive just cleared them and double checked that it cleared i'll run the car for a bit and do it again. i only had to disconnect the battery for 30 seconds to clear it so im thinking it would have cleared the 1st time as well? better to be safe than sorry and make sure its done right though
sounds like a knock since you have already started it without the belt
ok cleared the codes took it for a 30km drive checked the codes and nothing (well 12 which is nothing)
heres a pic of the balancer not the best pic taken in the dark
also i can turn it by hand, its really hard to do but i can do it should i be able to??

nice looking engine u have there. if u have a mirror on a stick check the wearing on the cas with the back fins as there shouldnt be any wear(shouldnt be with the vs as its isnt adjustable). sounds like harmonic balancer to me . get both the balancer and the cas changed at the same time.
just crawled under there with a torch and could see better than the sarvo i found 2 very small cracks about 5mm long would these be enough to cause this noise? Also found out i f_cken seriously need to sweep my carport
Cars cost too much.
I'd say it's time to change the harmonic balancer!
cheers mate lmfaoand the car wont get me far enough away to be safe

Thats a gold line! haha.
Its the balancer...I did the timing chain and a little while and later that noise appeared ...balancer looked fine but it only needs a bit of runout especially when there is belt tension to do it....it has a section of steel on the inner part that runs close to the outer part of the balancer and it hits if the rubber between the two parts gives a bit due to age...it wont fall off as it is captured but sounds bad....genuine they are exy but you can find them aftermarket in most big shops.
