You could just drop by a local mechanics when they are not busy- any decent nice place will have a listen and give you an indication without charge, my mates used to do it heaps.

what does the noise sound like and approx where in the enginebay is it comming from?

mite have been the 'mccanics'...hmm, I feel like mc'd's now lol.
but yea, spelling means shit and people textise their words all the time. Can help get more replies though granted.

shes taking the piss num nuts you dont need a mechanic you need to show up to school more

i'd say you don't necessarily need a mechanic. people who know cars well can usually put forward suggestions.
might help to explain the noise

by **CEvans** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 7:36 pm

yeah the noise is a slight ticking when i first take off at low revs normally up hill and when i change from first to second , i dont think its cvs but it seems to be coming from in the engine bay around the bottom of the engine i think, the car is a 98 levin bzr 6 speed manual.

Could be an exhaust leak

Yeah dude, mine used to do the same thing. Check the rear engine mount or the small rubber exhaust mount that sits on the rear of the front subframe. Also, if you have the time check that all your front subframe bolts are done up properly. After I had my gearbox replaced, I noticed a clicking sound in that same area, and the subframe bolts were all a little loose. Make sure they are properly torqued up.

Proberly the best thing you can do is take it to a mechanic's and put it up on a hoist and check everything underneath it. I did that and found that alot of things weren't as tight as they were suppose to be and the exhaust mount was completely stuffed. I don't have any funny noise's now.

time for new front and rear engine mounts for you. the rear one is a bastard to get out so i would advise making it someone else's problem!

Yeah, dude. Im sure you have to drop the subframe to get it out.

by **quinny** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 9:46 pm

Had to get my snake armed mechanic mate round to get it out. he managed to get it out with the subframe in place.

i'd say you'd be in serious trouble if you had pinking on takeoff

the one time.<gasp? i took my corolla. <gasp> to band-camp....

the auto sparky phucked with it and it pinked so bad, <gasp> that it just made it around the basin, <gasp> which is lucky <gasp> cause the muppets workshop is just there..

So it it fixed yet, and where the hell is that flute she was playing with?

Don't get too worried just yet. take it to a well known suspension place in your area, and get them to check it out for you. shouldn't cost you anything to do so. better than just guessing what it might be and stressing over it.
