Accent RB (2012+) :: 1.6L GDI - Ticking / Clicking Sound Coming From Engine When Pop The Hood

I might buy a 2013 Accent tomorrow, but the only big question remaining is the ticking sound coming from the engine when I pop the hood.

When I hear ticking I think of valve issues, but is a ticking sound totally normal for that engine? Is it okay or should I be worried?

Accent RB (2012+) :: Rattling Sound Coming From Bottom Of Engine On Passenger Side With AC On

Went to dealer today for rattling noise which appeared to be coming from bottom of engine on passenger side. Dealer diagnosed bad a/c compressor and had to order. This noise has been going on for past week and noise appeared with and without a/c on and always at "idle" speed. Noise would go from barely audible to very noisy and loudest with a/c on. If I turned a/c off, noise would diminish immediately; however, still audible with a/c on. Car only has 2,950 miles and a/c works fine, other than the rattling noise at times.

Golf IV R32 :: Clicking Sound Coming From Pulley / Belt Side Of Motor

I just started hearing this clicking/ticking sound about two days ago. It is definitely coming from the pulley/belt side of the motor and is more pronounced from under the car. I've tried to see what happens when I turn the A/C on and it still continues like normal. At idle its spaced 3 seconds apart with 3 consecutive clicks/ticks.

As I raise the RPM its spaced closer but still has 3 pronounced clicks that I can hear until the exhaust drowns it out. Tension on the belt seems to be good and its in good condition. The car runs better than it did a year ago with MPG actually going up a few about a week ago (cleaned the MAF, new filter, new tires).

I did have a P0103 code 2 weeks ago due to an over oiled K&N filter but I've done the work listed above since then with great results. The car runs great right now but I'm a stickler for the little details, like obnoxious noises (especially ones that are potentially bad).

Accent RB (2012+) :: Rattle Ping When Engine Is Under Load (accelerating Hard Or Uphill)

We've got a 2012 Hyundai Accent GDI. I've been hearing the rattle "ping" when the engine is under load (accelerating hard or uphill). I've read that this is typical for these engines.

I took it to our local Hyundai dealership since it's still under the 60,000 mile warranty. They updated the computer settings and I put in a fuel additive to clean up deposits. They also told me to buy name brand gas from here on out (Exxon, Shell, Mobil) as these engines don't handle cheap gas well.

Now that I've given you enough of a backstory, here are my questions:

- For those that have experienced the rattle "ping", what did you find fixed the problem?
- Any tips or things to look out for when cleaning the throttle body etc?

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Clicking Sound From Right Front Side When Start To Drive

Heard a clicking sound from the right side front on Accent. No noise when idling, but when you start to drive along a noise starts somewhere to the right side of the car, and it sounds like it is toward the front, possibly the front wheel ? Can't tell for sure. As long as you steadily apply gas you can hear it. If you ease off on the gas, the noise goes away.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: 2002 - Clicking Sound Coming From The Left Hand Side Under The Hood

I have a 2002 Accent that has this clicking sound coming from what sounds to be the left hand side under the hood. The click sounds like two marbles colliding. The car runs ok otherwise, but I would like to know about that sound.

I took a video, but its kind of hard to hear it. But if you listen close enough, you can hear it.

Prius :: Sound Like Diesel Motor When Under Slight Load

I have a 2008 prius with 80 000 miles and recently it started sounding like a diesel motor when under slight load and the accelerator pedal slightly depressed. When I push down a little more the diesel noise goes away, The motor never did that before so I'm wondering what might be wearing out. Timing chain or belt? I don't have a manual for the car so not well versed on engine internals.

Hyundai Accent :: 2006 - Oil Dipstick Dry And Engine Making Clicking Sound

I spoke to a mechanic and he is confident that there is no damage since it is not making any noise after oil is added. He is saying that the lifters would have made the noise and now that oil is added, everything is okay.

It is a 2006 Hyundai Accent.

Accent RB (2012+) :: Whining Sound Coming From Somewhere On The Left Side Of Vehicle

I have a whining sound coming from somewhere on the left side of my Accent HB SE 2013. 6 months old...it isnt audio related, and is intermittent - sometimes I can hear it, sometimes I cant. It can only be heard above say 40km/hr... and gets higher pitched with speed... lower and whirs out to silence when coming to a stop.

It sounds almost clutch related, but my guess is fuel pump related. A visual inspection shows the belts are fine.... I tried to see if it was hand-brake related by pumping a few times before pulling off... no dice. Now I'm trying to keep fuel above half to see if that has an effect on cooling the pump....

Accent RB (2012+) :: Ticking Squeaky Sound Coming From Passenger Side

I have an 2012 Accent that is sitting at 35k miles. I just got the 30,000 service done and a few days after I started to hear this ticking sound along with a squeak. The car can be idle or moving, squeak still there. It's sporadic though. Sometimes I can go 20-30 miles without hearing it and then all of a sudden I start hearing the ticking squeak. It sounds like its coming below the front passenger side of the car. It doesn't matter how fast I'm going, it's a ticking squeak that just comes and goes, but when it comes, it usually sticks around until I turn the car off and let it cool down. If i start the car right after, the squeaking comes back, but if I let the car cool down (overnight, for example), the squeak goes away until I drive 20-30 miles. I commute to work about 40 miles each way (80 miles total) every day so I can definitely hear it and it's bothersome.

Accent RB (2012+) :: Up / Down Rotating Engine Sound

I recently got a 2013 Hyundai Accent and am wondering about what a 'normal' running engine sounds like. (it sounds way different than my '98' Elantra) It drives smooth but if I drive slow , it almost sounds like an up-down or rotating engine sound (up and down swell?) Also, when it's idling it sounds like the computer is always adjusting it?? Or something like that. Just want to make sure mine in fine. (84,000km on it.)

Accent RB (2012+) :: Rattling Sound Inside The Engine Bay

I have a 12 day old Hyundai Accent 2012. I got the GL automatic transmission with a 1.4L engine.

I noticed a rattling sound inside the engine bay after a week of using the new ACCENT. It rattles when the engine is at medium effort. Usually i hear this kind of rattling sound with my 20 year old Mazda, but with a 12 day old car? WHAT?!

Got it serviced with Hyundai but they think it's the unleaded gasoline that's causing it, but they don't recommend using the high octane one. Talking with the technicians there, a lot of 2012 Accent owners already came back to the shop to complain about their rattling sound in the engine bay and i was not the worse sounding one.

I will record my rattling sound tonight by placing a small microphone inside the engine bay and post it youtube.

Accent RB (2012+) :: 2014 - Steering Wheel Staying Slightly Off Center?

I'm still getting to know my 2014 GS and I had a few questions.

What can I use the USB port for besides an ipod or as a very slow charger?

Do all of the Accents have an issue with the steering wheel not returning to center but staying slightly off center? I like the steering overall, but this really throws me. Should I see if the dealer can check its alignment? I like how it feels in corners, but going straight is much worse than I thought it was from the test drives I did....

My car is a manual and for now I have been curious to see how the eco pro mode suggests I shift. It never registers that I am in 4th gear and will keep telling me to be in 4th until I have accelerated enough to get to 5th (or 6th). Does this sound like something might be broken? Would it not registering 4th gear have any effect on anything else in the car?

How long do these stock tires tend to last? I'm not in any rush to spend money on new tires, but these stock ones are... good at some things and bad at others.

I am liking the reported MPGs on it so far. I reset it far too often just to see how different trips are reported. My worst one so far was a 13 miles trip on streets going over a 700 foot hill twice. I still got 32mpg reported.

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Clicking Under Load In Driver Side Rear Wheel Area

I just bought a 2007 LS460 with 90K miles on the clock. It replaces my 2006 LS430, which I loved, but it was getting long in the tooth.

So far, I have fixed the wind noise issue on the pass. side and the only remaining issue is this clicking in the driver rear wheel when the forward or reverse load is first applied.

So, to explain, every time I come to a stop or go from forward to reverse, I hear one or two clicks once I apply the gas. It sounds like some metal part is settling in place. The sound is not there once under way and there is no other noise at all.

The shop I went to spent couple of hours looking for the cause, listening with mechanics stethoscopes, feeling by hand, while the car was in the air with the wheel off and came up with either a rear hub or rear axle on its way out. It is hard to pinpoint the exact source because the click or metal ping is transferred to all the metal components of the assembly and there are plenty of them there.
