i10 sick, guess the fault compo

Sounds like a lot of things, but I would have a cheeky bet its the timing chain.

Steam engine conversion.

My mate’s alpha 156, one of the 1.6 jobbies had a noise just like this and it turned out to be a fault code on a sensor, I think it was crank position but could have been lambda. He got the code cleared and the noise went away.

I would have sworn when he bought it over that it was bottom end issues but apparently I was very wrong, sounded like an old agricultural diesel to me.

Was it also a vtech?

No a twin spark.

 

[Firestar_3x]

Whoosh!

 

[Matt82]

Sounds very much like big ends. Any idea how that was caused?

 

[Vince]

Whoosh!

It's Alfa.

This sounds like it's on 3 cylinders a bit in vid

Along with many others, my first thought was big end failure.

This is a good video showing how that type of noise can arise.

If it is the thrust bearing the noise will go away if you depress the clutch.

well garage suspect big end bearing, though wont know till they drop sump tomorrow. They said crankshaft could also be trashed.

could be a long long job.....

I think that's an Americanisation because the guy is looking at main bearings in that video

Excellent, have they given you a decent courtesy car to drive around rather than another washing machine on wheels?

Sounds like quite a job to diagnose and rectify so you might not be lost to us yet

New engine time.
