Good morning peoples!
Just thought that I'd ask 2 quick questions as I can't seem to hit the nail on the head with these. Firstly, as the title specifies, after I start up the car and whilst waiting for the car to warm up, I hear a constant "ticking" noise coming from the motor. When I rev the car too, I can still hear the clicking thru the heavy revving.
1st gear seems a bit rough after startup but as the engine gets warmer, the ticking disappears too. It's approaching it's 170K service soon (might need new/more oil, not sure) and I have recently just replaced the ignition leads that were causing my 80-100km/h gear change to drop out. What's the damn ticking?????? :bang:
One other thing that is getting me. I am getting a leak under the car (sometimes the leak is quite a heavy leak and sometime it's a small drip). Looks like tranny fluid; it's definitely not power steering fluid as the pump has just recently been replaced. I've also had the rear main seal re-done if that's any consolation. Your thoughts on my 2nd problem?? :whistling
