vz sv6 engine noise

[richardpalinkas]

hey need some help on this one, im not entirely sure what the alloytec engine sounds like, but ive just noticed that its making some noises, like injecter ticking. im posting up a video of it, so when its done il attach a link so someone could help me identify what the sound is. it sounds like its comming from the front of the intake, but not too sure. its still under warranty so il get them to check it out next week.

ok heres the link, just want to know if this is the normal sound of the alloytec

anyone know anything about this

WOW that sounds like a tractor but it could be because of poor sound quality. Could b a simply vacuum problem maybe a loose hose.

Just out of curiosity have you taken the covers off and had a look? Check the welds on your exhaust manifold, i found a crack in one of mine causing a ticking sound

no i havent had a deep look at it yet, il pop down and sus it out today. sound quality is good, thats exactly what it sounds like.

That does kinda sound a bit more tractory then usual but there isnt anything that totally sticks out or shocks me about the sound, these cars have 0 exhaust note, u tend to hear every little thing that moves on the engine and they seem to sound a bit pingy/trashy if u know wat i mean

how many Ks have you done?

the car is just about to go into its 120 000km service, probably thursday, so i will get them to check it out while its in there, as its still under holdens warranty. also, if i park on a downward slant, then go to reverse like really slow, there is a crunching noise somewhere between the engine and gearbox. its not always, but most times. anyone know what that could be?
