Some advice needed....
Last night, just pulled away in my W reg 1.9jtd when all of a sudden, clanking noise started suddenly in engine bay. Immediately pulled over to investigate, clanking stopped but now replaced with grinding noise now coming from area of timing belt, low down. Turned it off and will restart easily.
All belts are still intact, pulleys look all intact too. Water level has dropped in the header tank also some bubbling in there. No water or froth on dipstck or in engine. No warning codes at all.
Could this just be a failure of the water pump or a sign of something more major?
Any guidance on how to proceed would be appreciated. :worship:
