What Causes the Abnormal Noise at the Moment of Starting the Magotan?
2 Answers
The abnormal noise at the moment of starting the Magotan can be attributed to the following situations: Sharp abnormal noise: This is caused by the belt slipping, which is due to insufficient pre-tension of the tensioner or the belt being stretched over time and becoming loose. Gear grinding noise: This is caused by the gear grinding between the starter gear and the engine flywheel gear. The reason is that after prolonged use, the gears of the starter and flywheel wear out severely, resulting in misalignment and grinding noise. Ticking noise: This sound is produced by the closing of the valves in the engine's valve train. In an engine, the valve train is the noisiest component. This sound is typically heard when the intake and exhaust valves close, and it is usually audible after startup.
Having spent a lot of time in car enthusiast circles, I've come across quite a few cases of abnormal noises during the startup of the Magotan. The most common issue is poor engagement between the starter gear and the flywheel, resulting in a clanking sound during startup that resembles metal grinding. This is usually caused by gear wear or insufficient lubrication. Another possibility is a problem with the belt system, such as a loose drive belt, which can produce squealing or chirping noises. If the noise is more noticeable during cold starts and diminishes after the engine warms up, it's often due to inadequate oil lubrication. Ignoring these sounds can lead to major failures, like burning out the starter motor, which could cost thousands to repair. So, if you hear any unusual noises, record the sound to identify the type, and head to the dealership for a check-up as soon as possible—don't wait for a small issue to become a big one. Regular maintenance can prevent these problems, and paying attention to changes in engine bay sounds is crucial.
