Marti350z Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Right guys, So i was driving home last night , windows down with no music, and literally all of a sudden my z has started making this noise, Before hand the car ran and sounded perfect, I'm actually not sure where to start, I have had a search and I'm thinking fuel pressure regulator, but this seams to sound a lot worse then the ones ive heard on the net, It sounds like it's coming from the back end of the engine Not had chance to have a proper look as I was home very late :/ Any help us really appreciated ! Cheers https://vimeo.com/104779950 In the video there's no light just the hortible sound Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Ekona Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 That sounds f*cked to me. Check your oil level. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Camshaft, caused by very low oil level. Edited August 30, 2014 by ZMANALEX Quote
Keyser Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 That does not sound good - camshaft a valve or a bearing Quote
Paddy78 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 The guys above know what they're talking about. I have a dodgy fuel pressure regulator and it doesn't sound anything like that I'm afraid! 1 Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Sounds like a rod bearing failed to me. Quote
Marti350z Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 I've checked the oil, it's fine, I'm guessing a rod bearing I can't believe it man! Am I best just looking at a engine rebuild? And does anybody know a specialist of some sort, kinda close to Gloucestershire? Cheers peeps for the quick replys !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
GMballistic Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Pm Clarke Motorsport for a used good lump ^^ This is probably the best/cheapest option. That sound to me was very similar to my old Impreza when the big end had gone/was going. Quote
Marti350z Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 Will have to wait until I'm back from work and go on laptop, phone won't let me pm, Anyone know a rough price for a used lump? Do Clarke Motorsport fit them. ? Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
GMballistic Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Anyone know a rough price for a used lump? Do Clarke Motorsport fit them. ? Used lump will be around £1500-£2500. Spotted one at Clark Motorsport which is £1995 incl VAT. Link: http://www.clarkmoto...(Bare)-u/113339 Some details below. Removed from 2006 Rev-up car which had done 33500 miles. Comes with 30 day parts warranty. Engine does not come with any ancillaries. These can be puchased separately Obviously that ones from a 2006 RevUp DE model so if your's is a non-RevUp then you won't be able to use that one (without a lot of hassle) and will require the older DE variant. Unsure if they fit them. Edited August 30, 2014 by GMballistic Quote
Z_Lover Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Can u hear it only when u r driving or does it occur as soon as u start the engine?? Quote
MCook Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Just curious.... How many miles has your Zed done? Quote
Marti350z Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 It's constant , as soon as the car is started the noise is present, I'm pretty sure it's spun a bearing Car has just over 45000 miles .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
