R26 Rattle/tappet type noise

  1. Hi Guys,
    Exactly the same noise on my R26 60k on clock now. can only be heard when holding revs between 1500-2000rpm and after a blip of the throttle and the revs decrease (again between 1500-2000rpm) To me it was the engine tapping as it could be heard clearly when touching on the top end with a screwy.
    I took it to RS four ashes who had the car for about 4 weeks to run some pretty extensive tests. Turns out it was diagnosed as the flywheel and the noise is travelling through the block making it sound like engine. I have not changed mine yet but when I do if it rectifies the noise I will let you know. Also I have posted a video on meg sport of my noise. :smile:
