Engine sounds funny...... Or not - dutton84 - 30:th-Apr-2015 https://vimeo.com/126470389 Engine seems to have a weird clicking sound. Is that normal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Engine sounds funny...... Or not - Jasoncourt - 9:th-Sep-2015 What car do you have? Is that a corsa? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Engine sounds funny...... Or not - dutton84 - 9:th-Sep-2015 No. An Astra 1.6 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Engine sounds funny...... Or not - Jasoncourt - 9:th-Sep-2015 My Astra 1.7 CDTi has a very similar sound. I know the old corsa c used to sound like that when the cam chains were loose. But on my Astra it sounds like something around the injectors, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Engine sounds funny...... Or not - dutton84 - 9:th-Sep-2015 Oh right. That's bad then from what I've just quickly read on Google. Ha. Is it a timing belt or chain? I assume it's a chain if it rattles Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Need to have another listen that was 4 months ago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Engine sounds funny...... Or not - tucpal - 9:th-Sep-2015 I don't like diagnosis on video and forums are not the best to get advice take it too a garage it may be something it may be nothing RE: Engine sounds funny...... Or not - Rusty2009 - 10:th-Sep-2015 Sounds like a drev if so unless it's a 1.3CDTI then it will be a belt. I can't really hear anything wrong but as Paul said best to get a garage to look at it if you think something doesn't sound right. RE: Engine sounds funny...... Or not - tucpal - 10:th-Sep-2015 alternator belt and water pump would be a good guess what is your milage Engine sounds funny...... Or not - dutton84 - 10:th-Sep-2015 54k. Had the fan belt done a month after having the car. That's the screeching one. This was 4 months ago. Need to have another listen. Because if it is any of the above I need to get it in before the warranty runs out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Engine sounds funny...... Or not - tucpal - 10:th-Sep-2015 was the water pump done at all i would take it in just to be safe RE: Engine sounds funny...... Or not - Jj0063 - 10:th-Sep-2015 That noise is not the water pump. It sounds like injector tick but it's certainly not ancillary related. It's something on the top of the engine, I don't know if they're chain driven or not but certainly get it looked at. Do you find that if you rev it, it gets quicker with revs the whole way up or does it stop after a certain revs? Engine sounds funny...... Or not - dutton84 - 10:th-Sep-2015 I find in general is kind of sluggish. Ha. But never driven another on so nothing to compare to really Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk But yeah at low revs it's seems slow. Have to really rev it. Not sure if that's just what Astras are like though Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Engine sounds funny...... Or not - dutton84 - 10:th-Sep-2015 Just had a quick look online and the cam belt should last 10 years or 100,000 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Some say it's a cam chain Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If it's got a metal cover its a chain and if it's got a plastic cover its a belt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Engine sounds funny...... Or not - Rusty2009 - 10:th-Sep-2015 6yrs or 100,000 miles I wouldn't leave it that long tho as its rubber Engine sounds funny...... Or not - Jasoncourt - 10:th-Sep-2015 Just checked my Astra out and my injectors tick very loudly too. I'll get a recording for you, but it have a chirping noise that's very loud that u will have to ignore lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Engine sounds funny...... Or not - dutton84 - 11:th-Sep-2015 Maybe it is just injector tick then like Jj0063 said Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thanks for looking mate. Gonna have a look again this evening Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
