An annoying tapping sound.

I currently own a Peugeot 307cc, which is on the whole a great car to drive but the only major fault i?ve found is an annoying tapping sound that is situated over the driver?s front wheel arch. A service manager at a Peugeot dealership advised me that the car was supposed to make this noise whilst idling,which i find hard to believe. If anyone else has come across this problem then i would like to know. :(

The simple answer is to get him to show you this on several other cars (any decent sized dealership should have several 307s on the lot). If others with the same engine don't make the noise, then he is clearly and demonstrably fobbing you off. You could also ask him exactly what part it is that is causing the noise, then post his response here.

If it's a HDi then it could be the crank pulley. I had this problem with my

406 and the tapping noise sounded like it was coming from the driver's wheel arch; the crank pulley is behind this. For further information search Google Groups for hdi crank pulley.

Hi there,

Your description fits exactly to what happens with my 406 2.0 glx N reg. In my case the taping starts as soon as the temperature reaches

70 degrees celcius and only when idling. Peugeot dealer mechanic said he cannot hear nothing and I could not believe it :?: .

If any one finds out what it is please let as know.

Many thanks Angelos
