Hey guys, i just signed up, and already need some assistance.
Just bought a 54 plate Type R and i have noticed there is a metallic grinding or vibrating noise coming from the engine bay. (sounds a bit like an engine when its pinking)
I originally thought heat shield and took it to garage, they check it over and said they were fine and that the noise was coming from the front too, Kwik Fit not so helpful.
Just took it for an hour drive and it seems to get louder the hotter the engine is. I have checked and found the following:
- Does it when pulling away, when engine under pressure.(when revs build up, it disappears)
- Is at its worst when in any gear decellorating (coasting in gear)
- Stops when the clutch is dipped
- Engine sounds very loud when in reverse gear
Cant really hear it when your there with the hood up, nothing really stands out unless your inside the car and driving it.
Sorry about the essey, wanted to give as much info as poss.
Gutted, kinda thinkin i wish i hadnt bought it
