T04GTR Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 oh wait. neo's are solid lifter. hmm. posibly a dodgy oil filter draining out when the engine sits. get a decent quality oil filter.

dead32 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 buy an import, put all filters on it, change the oil and depending on age of the car i would empty and flush the fuel tank, plus most important put some motoul in it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/133378-help-car-is-making-a-knocking-sound/#findComment-2472115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
