caldina rattle

[bbq1988]

Hey guys,

my wagon has started to have abit of a rattle, only happens when you are crusing around 3000rpm and have been driving for 10km's or more.

i removed the turbo heat shield as it was stuffed, this fixed most of the problem but not all of it.

some one suggested that it could be detonating, but i dont see why as it is always run on 98+ and the sound goes away under load/boost.

anyone had this problem?

any soot around the exhaust manifold?

[Mr Revhead]

specificlly number one exhaust port.....

Nah there doesn't seem to be, i will have a close look after work. I isn't making any leaky manifold tractor noises.

[Miss_S]

anyone know how much it costs to have my leaky manifold tractor noise fixed?

[bbq1988]

new manifold, afew on trademe for $500ish

Is that for manifold and turbo? They're one piece...


FWIW my leaky manifold sounded like a rattle/squeaky belt, not your usual truck noise. You need to shine a torch into the corner behind the alternator to look for soot, it's not readily apparent unless it's been leaking for a long time.

btw a good leak test is to put a bit of water (spit works better) on suspected aerier (wen cod for oblivious reasons) and start it up and look for bubbles

Or more likely an old warped manifold

Actually I've got one of those you can have for a cool 500 Attached turbo is in ok condition too

Corrected for truth

if you catch them early enough, you can get the manifold face skimmed and it'll be good for a few years again.
