How to Determine Engine Condition by Sound?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the engine should not produce abnormal noises, but when damaged, unusual sounds may occur. Here are the relevant details: 1. If the engine emits a "puttering" sound during startup or idle, it indicates an issue with the engine motor. A "clicking" sound suggests a problem with the valves, while a "squeaking" sound indicates friction between the belt and the engine body. 2. The engine consists of numerous components, and when a fault occurs, it typically produces abnormal noises, with different parts generating distinct sounds. 3. If a "whooshing" sound is heard during acceleration, possible causes include insufficient power steering fluid or a damaged generator bearing.
