Sorry to hear that.

Could You answer a couple questions for me? The reason why I ask is because my VX is at the 60k mark and this is a concern to me.
1) How long have you had your VX?
2) How many miles is on your VX?
3) Did you do the 30k and 60k service maintanence?

Thanks for the info and sorry again to hear the news.

Peace.
Tom

Does it knock in idle or only under acceleration?

Is it possible that your timing belt tensioner has come loose? I've heard similar posts on the 4x4wire and wonder if this couldn't be the cause ... plus, it's a much easier fix.

Best o'luck,
