What is the reason for the abnormal noise when stepping on the accelerator of Geely Binrui?
2 Answers
Possible causes include carbon buildup in the throttle body causing sticking, wear of the accelerator pedal support pin, or improper installation of the accelerator cable. Solutions for abnormal accelerator noise: Clean the throttle body; apply grease; for electronic throttle systems, check the accelerator pedal mechanism and accelerator pedal sensor. Accelerator pedal operation: Place the heel of your right foot on the floor of the driver's compartment as a fulcrum, gently place the sole of your foot on the accelerator pedal, and use ankle joint movements to press or release. When operating the accelerator pedal, apply force gently to achieve smooth pressing and gradual releasing. When starting the engine, do not press the accelerator pedal all the way down; it's better to keep it slightly above the idle speed. When starting off, it's advisable to apply a little throttle just before the clutch engagement point, with the throttle opening at a moderate level. Releasing the clutch should be closely coordinated with pressing the accelerator, and the action should be swift.
I've been driving the Geely Binrui for over a year and noticed that abnormal noises when accelerating are quite common. The sounds might resemble clicking or metal scraping, mostly minor issues in the engine bay. For example, if the engine mounts are loose, the shaking intensifies during acceleration, causing noise; or if the fan belt has aged, it might not tighten enough when pressing the gas, leading to friction sounds. I've also experienced loose exhaust pipe joints—when accelerating, the increased exhaust flow causes the joints to collide and make noise. Don’t underestimate these noises; if ignored, they could damage other components, like worsening transmission wear, which would be costlier to fix. As an owner, I recommend first popping the hood to check if the belt is yellowed or cracked, or if the mount screws are loose. If you're not handy, don’t take risks—just visit a 4S shop or a trusted mechanic for a checkup. It’s affordable and safer. If you hear noises on the highway, slow down and pull over to inspect, rather than pushing through to your destination.
