Engine Noise

Post by latief » Wed Jun 24, 2009 9:04 pm

My engine is very low on power with a number of noises. I have a lower end noise that i do not like , i recorded a video. it is not a great video, but listen carefully for the tapping/clack sound. the sound quality is not great, but if you listen carefully, you will hear it

The camera is under the car so there is no visible picture ...

My engine makes the same noise until it gets warmed up closer to operating temperature. It's supposed to normal, but if it continues after warming up there might be a problem.

Get an oil analysis done... that will put your mind at ease or it will alert you to an issue.
