Engine Rattle
Hello All,
I have a problem with my megane
03 Plate
1.5 dCi Authentique 86
With 83 k
Part sevice history.
As i pulled away from a roundabout there was an all mighty rattle from the engine, and a faint smell of diesel. I went to stop the engine, not knowing what was wrong while bringing the car to a stop.
I went to restart the car, it went to turn and then my dash went blank. It was dead after that.
AA called they just towed me home and said the engine still turns and that was that.
By doing some searching i found a 175amp fuse had blown to my starter motor, I replaced it i and got my dash back on and then tried again and it still blew.
Any one got any idea's (Please help)

This could be water ingress into the fuse box? You have'nt driven through any big puddles or been in a really heavy rain storm recently have you (daft question given the state of the British weather at the moment!)
You really need to get it to a garage ASAP for a full diagnosis.

It's only the 1.6vvt that has a Dephaser pulley.
It could also be that the compression of the engine is simply stopping you from hand cranking the engine.
If the cam belt had snapped when the rattle first appeared the engine would have stopped dead straight away. When was the cam belt last changed?
If the belt has snapped or slipped don't try and turn the engine over, or you will do more damage to the the engine then there could already be. You need a to get this looked at straight away.

It looks like it has been over fueling in chamber 1 and 4, would this cause the valve to break ?
I now have to replace the engine because nobody will break up a good engine for parts.
Been getting quotes for engine, prices range from (1600.00 to 900.00) pounds. Then i phoned my local breaker on the off chance and they got one in for 475.00 with 31k on clock.
Just starting to take my engine out, and belive me it's harder than u think.
Does anybody know which parts of the engine r coded to the car, is it just the diesel pump and the alternator.
