Tapping under acceleration

llewekab · Nov 20, 2019

Hey,

Under heavy acceleration in first gear im getting a tapping noise from the front end.

Im thinking drive shaft bearing!! Its only minor so im thinking just leave it.

Any ideas gratefully received,

kind regards

does it go away if you take your foot off the clutch?

Foots not on the clutch its as im accelerating in first. Clutch is fully up. If anything the noise stops when i press the clutch .

Cheers

If its a TD4, it might be the main fan belt pulley - they have a tendency to delaminate.

Can check by shining a light on it and see if there's any shiny metallic particles floating around it.
