R32 Engine Sounds Like It Gona Blow, Help!

[Murry33]

Hey, i am having trouble with my r32 non turbo type m. I start the car and in the engine bay it sounds like something it rubbing but it's like a constant sound and it only seems to be getting worse+louder. What could this be becuase i can't see at this time of day, and i need the car the rest of the week! :S It also seems to be revving with less power?

It has 117,000kms but i'm unsure if the last owner replace the timing belt or not(it doesn't say anywhere), would it be making such a loud rubbing/knocking noise if it was the timing belt going out? Thanks

Any ideas? i thought i'd post here to get a quick reply pls move when necessary, thanks!

Might be a loose belt of sorts,check the tension on the fanbelts etc and pulleys.

Maybe check the fan etc as well (car OFF)

cheers, i'll check that.....do you think the timing belt would making a loud knocking noise if it needs replacing?

[d0p3y]

not particularly

ticking could be your lifters

[Murry33]

it's more of a whining noise that gets louder when you increase the revs.......?

check belts first if not take it to a mechanic to get it looked at if you're unsure.

i ahve being told that putting R134a gas (the new gas) in our r32 compressors will make them sh*t themselves in no time. something to do with the new gas being heavier then the gas meant for it R12 seomthing like that. just thought u should be aware of that

r32 non turbo type m.

?

I was under the impression that all type m were turbo....

maybe your turbo fell off and that's what the noise is.

check the fan, make sure its spinning freely, i had this problem once, when i remounted my FMIC piping and I left a cable tie in its path..
