What Causes the Ticking Sound That Disappears After a Cold Start?
1 Answers
Cold start noise that disappears is due to the small clearance between the gasoline engine piston and cylinder wall. Specific reasons for cold start noise: Cold start noise occurs because parts are cold and hard, with insufficient lubrication, leading to abnormal sounds. Additionally, when drive wheels slip, avoid sudden acceleration as it can cause planetary gears to seize on their shafts. Impact of cold starts: A cold start refers to starting the engine after it has been off for a while, cooled down significantly below normal operating temperature, with most engine oil having drained back. Over 80% of engine wear occurs during the cold start phase.
