View Full Version : Strange sound from engine

As the previous thread went slightly off topic I thought I'd try again.

Is it anything to be concerned about please folks?

Now look what you've started.

I wouldn't have thought so. My mitsi engine was tight as for about a month after the reseal and made a different noise.

That's what I'm hoping. Will see how it goes for a few days before I do anything I think and see if it rides up with wear.

The belts might be tensioned tighter/looser to cause a different noise I suppose. I must admit I've never heard any engine I worked on sound different after I finished though. Except where it sounded broken prior to me working on it of course :D

Is it far to take it back to the garage that did it and ask them if it sounds ok? Or perhaps a second opinion from another garage may be worth while, most will have a listen for free I reckon :)

It's hard knowing with noises unless you can hear them :o

Took it for a run to Sainsburys tonight. When I got back with my shopping there was a fookin flood under the car :mad: :mad: :mad:

Upon closer inspection the hose to what I believe is the heater matrix appears to be split where the tightening clip is.

I shall take a bit of time off tomorrow morning to explain to the place that did the work just how unimpressed I am and impress upon them the need to get things right when they do a job. (Well I might be a it more diplomatic first and only do that if they get stroppy over sorting it tbh).

Sorted. Hose off new hose on 10 mins :thumbs: :thumbs:

Also popped into MB on the way back home and they say the noise is nothing to be concerned about, just that the engine is now performing as it should :D

And because I came into work late this morning because I missed all the rushhour traffic :thumbs: :D :D :D
