2002 1.8 - engine rattling when idling - baconbuttyman
Hi. I have a renault laguna 1.8 16v Dynamique 2002, hatchback and has a rattling sound when idling (like a diesel car). i think that this is probably how they sound, i just bought the car from a local dealer and would not like to think there is a problem already. I am use to driving a 2.5 v6 omega, not these "smaller engined lawnmowers" lol

rattley engin whilst idleing - davidmarcdiver
mine sounds the same, been told by renault it's a noisey dephaser , cost from them was $264 approx and they said to do cam belt same time @ £650, they wouldn't state whether the belt actually needed changing.
has you r car ever stalled ?
