WHAT ENGINE NOISES ARE TALKING ABOUT
Noise in the engine - why? 🧐 There can be many reasons for noise, and they can occur in different operating modes. We have prepared a list for you with the most common causes: Constant noise while the engine is running: • generator belt; • pump of the cooling system; • timing elements; • valve train chain; • crankshaft; • diaphragm of the crankshaft pulley; • connecting rod bearings; • valve; • main bearings; • fuel injectors; • injection pump for diesel engines. Noise on startup: • stretched alternator belt; • camshaft bearings for diesel engines; • hydraulic compensators; • pistons. Warm up noise: • pistons; • for diesel engines - crankshaft; • hydraulic lifters. Noise at idle: • water pump; • valve train chain. When you step on the gas: • generator belt. When loaded: • phase shifters; • valve. After oil change: • incorrectly selected or replaced engine oil. When turning the steering wheel: • low fluid level in the power steering system or failure of its pump.
