Technical a noise

[Big Black Stilo]

ok, i am going to book it back into the dealers again about the second gear as its whinning louder now and still lumpy changing into it, and sometimes grinding although clutch is in.

now i have noticed a new noise, a kind of rubbing sound the picks up with engine speed, (doesnt have to be moving forward to make it). it is on a rotation and @1500rpm its makes the noise 3 times per second, and is evenly spaced, always 3 times a second. thats 180 times a minute at 1500 rpm. the plastic engine cover vibrates a fair bit on tick over, but the engin block look solid, although a vibration can be felt pre mount, but not post mount

im worried the flywheel is fubard b ut everything i see referencing knackered flywheels in on big v8 fords or the car has other symptoms

are they related? anyone think flywheel issue?

ok, the noise is still there only it's got a slight grind on it now, and still same frequency at 1500rpm. going to stop driving it now and phone the dealers tomorrow

anyone any ideas?

you should have bought a diesel?

ever noticed how all the engine and trasmition problems posted about on this forum are for Tjet cars?

Cheers for the jinx

 

[Big Black Stilo]

still, that aside, anyone any thoughts?

 

[Big Black Stilo]

do tjets have a DMF?

why should he have bought a diesel?

T-jets far out run any diesel Bravo's... and also, diesels sound like tractors anyway.

leave diesel for vans... =\

lol what a silly comment!! clearly dont know what new diesels are like or u just refuse to admit it!

 

[Tad-bravo]

you do ahve to agree about the tractor statement when they're cold !

diesels are way more reliable though.. more economical and more torque.

my peugeot 306HDi is way, way rougher than a petrol one, and indeed the TJet

You forgot how bad they are for the environment...compared to petrol.

 

[Big Black Stilo]

well they are more likely to cause cancer

 

[Tad-bravo]

completely false, but even if it was true, I don't give a rat's butt about the emissons of my car.

just one average factory releases more emissions in one minute than you'll release with the most poluting car your whole life so spare me this new bull**** trend of talking emissions.

 

[lyubohar]

Yeah, and there's only your car out there...

 

[Tad-bravo]

if you had a degree in statistics, you'd know how ridiculous the whole emissions talk is.

even with all the cars in the world, they acount only for a tiny little part of dangerous emission and CO2 released in the athmosphere.

it basicly makes little to no difference to mother nature if you drive a hummer or walk. even cows polute more than cars with the toxic gases in their poo, did we stop eating cows? no.

don't just believe the crap you hear in the news and follow the eco trend like an idiot. their goal is to sell new cars and make new taxes for the old ones (so you'll buy a new car), it won't even get close to saving the athmosphere of this planet.

 

[Big Black Stilo]

anyway... dealer couldnt hear it as the darn thing cooled by the time they looked at it but its still there.

its doing my swede in now

There are too many people on this planet. But we never hear the N-viro-mentals mention it.

By the way, the lad's right about diesel noise on start up. The new JTD series is really tractor like on tickover. That's your Euro 5 for you.

If you want a quiet motor it has to be a petrol, and the turbo quietens it even more.

My gripe is about ROAD NOISE. When will Fiat get around to fitting decent soundproofing ?

 

[Big Black Stilo]

mine is petrol not deisel

 

[Deckchair5]

Only thing I can think of that goes around about a tenth the speed of the engine rpm is the cam belt

 

[Big Black Stilo]

hmm so could be vibration of something on that when warm?
