i10 sick, guess the fault compo

[Flukester]

Hi noobs

Well my wifes trusty i10 has been towed to dealer. Here is a youtube video of the sound from engine bay. The sound is metallic and is present when car is stationary. It speeds up with revs and matches RPM, it gets much worse when engine hot / under load.

I will post back the cause once known... anyway, guess away.

My guess (as a complete mechanical idiot), fuel injector fault giving wrong mixture

 

[Sparky]

Cam sensor? I have no idea but if its a free for all guessing game, why not.

 

[StonedPenguin]

Gremlins in the engine

Is that 'knocking'? If so, does that mean the timing's out?

 

[Eliot]

Timing slipped, Bent valve (BTW i havent seen the vid as its blocked at work so im going off the text )

Sounds like big end bearing failure to me.


Isn't this the infamous used i10 that was more expensive than a new one?

 

[Janesy B]

Injector fault, lol. Sounds slightly more terminal than that.

Yep, sounds like that to me aswell.

 

[Clarkey]

I reckon something top end, broken VVT thingy or lifter maybe. Sounds a bit high pitch for a bottom end knock, and they tend to come and go through the rev range too.

Hope it's under warranty, did you make sure it was full of oil before sending it to the dealer ? I have heard of a few warranty claims being knocked back due to low oil levels.

 

[Joe T]

My guess is: cheap car.

Just kidding

Could be, hard to tell with my POS JVC headphones i use at work.

Sounds just like a tinny recording of bottom end knock to me, bearing in mind it was probably recorded on a phone, a device not known for a microphone with a particularly wide frequency range

It wasnt cheap, 9.5k wasnt it?

FSH, fluids ok, still under warranty, but no doubt they will try and worm out of it.....

 

[Brookert]

Bottom end failure of some sort is my guess.

 

[dalin80]

Does sound like one end of the con rod isn't as well attached as it used to be.

 

[Gamefreak501]

That sounds like bottom end knocking to me unfortunately

Is it covered by any kind of warranty?

Yep, should be still under Hyundai 5yr.... guess this is the price of buying a 9.5k (I'm sure it wasn't) i10

I certainly wouldn't drive it to a dealer like that, get it trailered back and get them to sort it.
