What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Accelerating Uphill?
1 Answers
Abnormal noise when accelerating uphill can be caused by the following reasons: 1. The noise only occurs at idle or low speed: Possible causes include: Excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall; Over-tight piston pin or connecting rod bearing assembly; Excessive clearance between the tappet and its guide hole; Wear of the camshaft profile; Loose starter causing pulley noise (more noticeable during speed changes). 2. The noise becomes chaotic at a certain speed, and short sounds are heard during rapid deceleration: Possible causes include: Cracked camshaft timing gear or loose fixing nut; Broken crankshaft; Loose piston pin bushing; Excessive axial clearance of the camshaft or loose bushing.
