I have got an A3 1.8 SE which developed a rattle that has got worse over a
period
of time. The rattle starts when I begin to accelerate, after 1500 revs it
dissappears.

I was told it was the Cam Belt whiplashing and it needed changing - I have
since had the
Cam Belt, water pump and the bearing changed and the noise is still the
same. I did not have
the tensioner which is seperate to the tensioner bearing changed because I
was told it was ok.

Any ideas as to what the problem might be will be appreciated.

Mick

Cam chain tensioner. The cambelt just drives the exhaust cam & runs up the
front of the engine. There is then a cam chain that links the two cams
together which is at the back of the head. Not a small job - you have to
remove both the camshafts. Have a listen around the back end of the head -
if it seems to be coming from there then odds on that's the culprit.
