1998 VT CALAIS V6
Gday,
I have a VT CALAIS and when i turn the car on there is a knocking noise coming from the engine then it stops after 5 seconds,
then when i put it into drive and accelarate it starts to knock and the more i push the pedal down the more it knocks,
when i release the pedal it stop and doesnt do it in nuteral or park.
I asked someone and they reckon its the bottom end? and i need a new motor?
Help Please!

Check to make sure the sump is not hitting the crossmember because of sagged engine mounts.

Check the rubber on your harmonic balancer.

If it was a big end it would be knocking all the time.
