Just changed the plugs and fuel filter and now I have a tapping noise. Doesn't affect driveability and really doesnt sound like its from the motor....When i rev the noise gets drowned out by engine noise.
Anyone have any ideas what it could be??
I know its hard to explain but eh vehicle runs and drives fine just when at an idle I now have a tapping that is more like a purrrr that i can feel in the wheel and in the pedals.
Thanks guys.
Well I put the old fuel
Well I put the old fuel filter back on and the noise is gone....
Very strange.
Knocking.
Check that you removed all the spanners and tools from the engine bay.
Yeah I had done that. I
Yeah I had done that. I drove it around last night with it making noise inside the cab. This AM I woke up and put the old fuel filter back on and bingo. No more noise.....I also didnt find any tools or parts laying around the engine bay either
Very strange I agree.
Locate it ............
Can you locate the noise? A useful method is by using a metal bar or similar. Position one end of the metal bar around the engine and the other end at your ear. Usually it locates a knock.
Perhaps the baffle is loose within the new filter and the car's motion causes the rattle.
Good tip. Thanks. I am
Good tip. Thanks. I am going to order a new fuel filter from Daihatsu and see how that one goes.
