Mine has been making a bit of a tick/rattle noise. Put a screwdriver on the tensioner arm while the car is running and you should be able to feel it if that is it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87605-front-of-motor-making-tik-tik-noise/#findComment-1456989 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was normal as its not affecting anything. .

It is a waste of time.2 Total changeover time for the pulley and the tensioner for a first timer ---> 20-30 minutesjust remember to remove the thermo fan plate before you try to do anythingthermo fan plate removal --> unclip electrics, undo two bolts visible on the side of the plate and then carefully slide the plate vertically up through its track)the tensioner comes off as a whole assembly, just remove the center bolt. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87605-front-of-motor-making-tik-tik-noise/#findComment-1457139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
