Got a Corsa B sxi 1.2 16v.
Have noticed that the engine rattles, as thought the timing was out, when I change gear (as in 2nd to 3rd, when you lift the clutch in 3rd it rattles as the revs pick up) this also happens when on the motorway when trying to sit at 80mph except this time its a constant rattling. if you acceletare / slow down it goes away.
I belive this has a timing chain rather than a timing belt.
I dunno.....please help
Cheers Blebo

Actually if you replace the timing ger witht hat from a reliant kitten then itll probably add about 50 bhp and if you set it up propery it could go up to 1000000000000000000 break squrillel power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the chains are under constant spring tension, so I would doubt it is your chain but sounds like something is loose and is resonating could be a mount or part of the exhaust.

r u sure it timing chain rattling - x10xe/x12xe engines prone to front cat bracket breaking and rattling - if not that weve replaced a few chains/tensioners and simplex guides at work for same problem
