Omega General Help / Broken Water Pump ??????
« on: 18 June 2009, 22:25:48 »
I was travelling down the M1 on route to catch a flight from Heathrow on Tuesday. Suddenly steam was everywhere and when we stopped we could see that the water pump was knackered. After being recovered and taken to a local garage, I had the pump fixed. However, when the car was started up, there is now an extremely loud knocking and clanking coming from the top of the engine. It sounds like a london taxi!! (noisy diesel)
Has anyone got any ideas as to what is wrong? The only assumption I can come to is that the timing belt has maybe jumped a tooth or two. The engine was silent before the pump went and now I think I'm going to be looking at scrapping it!
