i can hear a tapping sound coming from the engine on the top left side does anyone know what this might be and a cure for it please

 

[pitbull]

might be injectors and if so its normal

 

[R32 FLOYD]

yeah it does seem to be coming from that area cheers pitbull:wavey:

Does it get louder when you increase the idle rpm ?

 

[R32 FLOYD]

no it goes a quieter

 

[T.F.S.]

injector noise shouldnt decrease with rpm.....the sound will obviously increase in frequency (i dont mean hz)

could be valve clerarance or maybe detonation if you hear this only on boost

 

[R32 FLOYD]

well the noise is still there when i rev but i say it goes quieter because of the noise from the engine but its still there.
it goes louder the warmer the engine gets

 

[T.F.S.]

and you can hear this from the drivers seat?

Ok has the car lost oil pressure at anytime?

biggedy biggedy ends

 

[kismetcapitan]

big ends out...not good....

 

[R32 FLOYD]

no i can only here it when i lift the bonnet
its not that loud but noticeable when i lift the bonnet
or am i just being picky

 

[R32 FLOYD]

oil pressure loss? not that i know of

My advice would be take it to a a reputable tuner for them to diagnos - any comments on here would be speculative at best but tappety noise's usually means you've spun a bearing i'm affraid to say - i really hope its something else fella.

does spinning a bearing *always* result in crankshaft damage? Replacing bearings doesn't always necessitate pulling out the crankshaft, although the engine might have to come out.

Noise

Its probably just the injectors.

If it helps, make a little video of it and host it up here and we'll have a listen for you.

 

[R32 FLOYD]

i will take it to a tuner as soon as and let you all know thanks for the advice and watch this space

 

[R32 FLOYD]

good idea barnes i will do this now

you cant see it because it is dark camera not that good but that sound is coming from the area around the injectors

 

[Big Sev]

Had a listen, couldn't hear any tapping noise

Maybe the whirring of the fan was too overpowering but from my limited knowledge sounded fine to me

I'll have another go to be sure
