very weird noise in EF

[tim2x]

hey guys

i have a problem with my ef, when ever i come to a stop when driving it makes a weird noise, or sometimes when i turn the car.....the car was also getting a lil hot today?


any ideas?

[Holbrookau]

It would be best if you could describe the noise and the general area it comes from - "weird" doesn't really help..

[tim2x]

Sorry holbrookau.

well, it comes from the engine, my mate had a look at it and he said that it could have somethign to do with a rack or a power stearing problem.

[EDXR6T]

:P

it need's a new bottom end

bwhahahah!!!!!

[-jjM-]

soundsl like uv blown a head......

still dosent expain much?

[Holbrookau]

OK, so we know the approximate area - please describe the noise.

[crannersEL]

Sorry to hear this timmy, if im out and about ill drop by tomorrow and have a listen. The best thing to do would be to take the car down to a mechanic and get them to sus out what the problem is, then youll know the cost to repair it aswell.

yeah possibly blown headgasket, could you possibly upload a sound file?

[crannersEL]

Blown Headgasket = $$

I had a strange noise in the fairmont, used to happen when turning corners, sounded like the bearing on the steering shaft had failed (used to only happen when you turned the wheel).

Had a good look round and realised the plastic cover for the engine mount had popped off and was getting in the way of the shaft as it rotated. It would make a bit of a grinding noise then squeek when the wheel was turned as the knuckle hit on the cover.

[tim2x]

I dont think ive blown a head.... ahh i hope not, if i blew a head wouldnt my car refuse to do anything? id ont really know these things, but ill take it to a mehcanic tomoz, but yeah cranners if u wanna come over and have a quick listen:P it sometimes doesnt do it..... very strange

[BOOSTDEF]

could be thousands of things matey...
Air in coolant system
Object in cat converter, or even a failed cat
front wheel bearings
bubble in tyre
serpentine tensioner

Its all we can do without a proper description of sound mate.

[tim2x]

hrm, alright, ill record a sound file tomorrow of it, or perhaps just go visit a mechanic, if i were to describe the sound in words.. it would be something like " eerrrrrggggghhhhhhh *clug *clug * ...

Zinger burgers at red rooster ? :s I think you are a bit confused there John. :hihi:

[Damo]

or maybe it was pat who was confused, well anyways now i'm confused.

GO TEAM!

[Holbrookau]

eerrrrrggggghhhhhhh *clug *clug *

That would be the radiator cap releasing pressure due to overheating. Take it to a cooling specialist.

no pat......just you

[EFFANATIC]

What do u look 4when youve got a blown head gasket?

[fiery]

could it be the torque thingy.... I was told originally the head gasket was gone in my car, but when I got her to the mechanics he chuckled and told me that I had finally murdered the torque thing.. convertor or something like that..
It made a weird sort of gurgle sound (still does at times)...

[BOOSTDEF]

My guess is coolant area... maybe try and flush your cooling system and see if the problem persists?

[Poetic Justice]

Sounds similar to my issue, I was told by #eseries folk it would prolly be my bottom end, but it was power steer pump

[tim2x]

seems it coulda be alot of things.

hey blackout, how much was the power steering pump to replace?

[EDXR6T]

na sound's like you'r hole front end's warn out :P

time to replace

[InitialD]

Could be your jack rattling in the boot?

[crannersEL]

Timmy did you take her to the mechanic for a check up?

If so what did they say?

[tim2x]

Well the guy i took it too said come back when it makes the noise but ive discovered


when the car is idling i open up the bonnet and its making this noise like something is struggling ...like somethings rubbing against something? it sounds like its comin from the front of the motor, but i dont know, If u want cranners u can come and have a lil listen :P

and another thing, how come i can hear my rev's in my speakers, when i rev my car up, it buzz's to how much i rev the car...... ive never had that before.. very odd...

cheers guys

You havent added an amp or anything electrical lately??

You could have shorted something and your alternater has shat itself?

I did that once. Had an amp wire come loose and weld itself to the chassis. The alternator belt started squeeling as the alternator temporarily siezed. It worked afterwards but had bearing noise(a possibility of yours)..

Lesson learnt since is to fuse everything lol
