What are the causes of abnormal noises in a car?
1 Answers
There are 5 main reasons for abnormal noises in a car: 1. Loose screws on the engine underguard. Tightening or adjusting the screws on the engine underguard is required. 2. Aging engine mount pads. The mount pads support the engine and must be replaced if they are worn out. 3. Loose plastic parts in the engine compartment. This could be due to loose engine covers or intake pipes, which can be fixed by tightening them. 4. Abnormal noises from the engine belt. This includes the power steering belt and alternator belt. Worn-out, too loose, or too tight belts can cause noises, which can be resolved by replacement or adjusting the tension. 5. Use of low-quality engine oil or prolonged intervals between oil changes. This can increase friction between the valves and guides, as well as hydraulic lifters, leading to louder engine noises.
