Averagegem Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 When turning engine on can hear knocking but turn engine off and restart and knocking stops. What could this be? Big job or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Post up a vid of the problem if possible, should make it much easier to diagnose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj1 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Does it go away when the engine is hot & up to temp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averagegem Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 It stops after a while of driving it yes or if u turn engine off and then back on that can stop it sometimes too, doesn't always make the noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 live with it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 1 hour ago, Averagegem said: It stops after a while of driving it yes or if u turn engine off and then back on that can stop it sometimes too, doesn't always make the noise I haven't had time, nor the inclination yet to watch the video but I expect it to be not that much to be concerned about for now. I'm not fully convinced on this turning it on then off business neither, the engine is still doing the same as it was before, roundddd and rounddd and rounddd. But if it goes away when the car gets hot/has been driven for a short while, and it hasn't caused a problem thus far, I'd live with it as Rich says. Unfortunately it seems the same can be said for Rich, he doesn't go away either... You just have to live with him and his comments My guess is 26. Throwing a number out there. Got to start somewhere!
