Camry :: Tapping Sound From The Front End Going Over Some Bumps
Ever since I had Quickstruts installed on the front I have been getting a tapping sound going over the bumps and such. I think it happens when going over something combined with the steering input, such as pulling out of a parking lot onto the main road. If I just go over a bump with wheels straight, no sound.
Can't replicate the noise by rocking the front end by hand.
The sway links appear tight, no vertical movement. I have a reman rack and pinion since last year along with new outer tie rods. Sway bar bushings maybe?
Malibu :: 2007 - Front End Tapping Rattling Noise On Bumps
Ive got an 07 Malibu ls. For quite some time now I have had this frt end noise. Its a tapping rattling noise on fine bumps. Here is the strange thing. It only happens in the winter and then only for a while when I start driving. It kinda goes away as I keep going. When its very cold it doesn't quite go away but gets lots less as the car is driven for a while. Ive checked everything in the front end including sway bar links. Ive made sure the brake calipers arent loose. Ive had it checked out at a reputable shop. Of course as soon as the car is inside a warm shop, it wouldnt make the noise anyways. They have not been able to pinpoint it either. What was the solution?
View 2 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Tapping Noise In Cab While Going Over Bumps
Like a lot of our trucks, mine had the tap-tap-tap cab noise while going over bumps. It always sounded like it was coming from the passenger side doors. I have read many solutions, but have never been able to solve my noise issue. But, I may have found it....or more truthfully, my wife.
The other weekend we were out running errands. As she climbed into the cab and shut the door she commented that the handle above the passenger door was getting real loose. She wiggled it to demonstrate.
Tap-tap-tap.
Same noise....... ....I'll be dipped.
Got home, grabbed a socket wrench and tightened the 2 screws. They were like 3 turns loose.
Noise seems to be gone. Time will tell, but if you have"that noise" check the upper passenger grab handle.
Camry :: Horrible Sound When Go Over Bumps - Spring Snapped On Front Struts
The other day I heard a massive snap as I pulled out of the driveway. I drove to work and everything handled fine but if I drove over a bump I noticed a horrible sound under my car. Smaller bumbs just caused a ting. My gfs dad looked at it and said everything was fine. I surely didn't believe that so I just jacked up my car and right away I noticed my spring snapped!

I have a 2006 2.0tdi and when driving at over 40 mph I get a kind off tap tap tap . If I put a little pressure on the clutch you really can feel the tapping. If I take the car out of gear the tapping goes. If I rev the engine whilst stationary no tapping. I figured it might be a worn spline on the driveshaft? I've taken it to the local vw dealer 3 times and they can't find anything.

I had the whole follower issue and the dealer replace the fuel pump, follower and intake cam. Then I got a terrible tapping sound a couple of days later. So I brought my car back and after two weeks and a new rocker and intake cam I was back in action.
But I drove the car yesterday noticed the on board MPG delta gauge was saying I average 22mpg through 1/3 of a tank. It was mostly 45 mph roads and some highway at 75-80 mph. I figured I should be getting closer to 27-28 at those speeds.

Golf V R32 :: Vibrating / Tapping Sound That Happens Only At 70mph
I just had a magnaflow catback installed a few days ago and on the way home I noticed a vibrating/tapping sound that happens only at 70mph and up. There were absolutely no noises before the exhaust install (the car only has 6,000 miles on it). The sound seems to be coming from within the dashboard or in the engine bay along the midline of the car.
The installer did have to yank quite a bit to remove the stock catback unit.
Accent LC (2000-05) :: Tapping Sound When Idling
I have a 2000 Hyundai accent. Bought the car used at a lien sale over 3 years ago, with about 120k miles on it... it now has over 197k miles on it. I have changed the oil and filter religiously since I bought it, using Castrol GTX High mileage 5w30 synthetic motor oil. I have also (in the last year) replaced the plugs with platinum plugs, the plug wires, and the air filter. A the car has always made a tapping sound when idling since I bought it, but recently (in the last week), it makes little shoemaker sounds when I accelerate. I used to associate this with detonation and adjust timing (back in the day when you could put a timing light on a car and turn the distributor to set timing). Since timing is now controlled by the computer in the car, am I right in assuming that I need to replace the timing belt?
View 4 RepliesCamry :: 2AZ-FE - Tapping Noise Under Load
YouTube ....
Not my car in the link but it sounds very similar (can be heard better 4 seconds into the video). Noise only under load, in Drive and in Park, does not go away when warm. Definitely coming from cylinder 4 after removing spark from each cylinder to test. 152k miles. Drives excellent, no loss of power, no vibrations, no codes. Just purchased car. In excellent condition and price was right, so decided not to pass on it. I'm also in the auto repair field, so fixes dont cost me an arm and a leg
Would too much cam lobe clearance cause this loud of a noise? and would valvetrain issues cause a noise only under load? I just read on the complexity of doing a valve adjustment on these engines. Removed the valve cover and saw nothing abnormal or no significant signs of wear
Any other common taps/knocks/noises associated with the 2AZFE?
This is my first ownership of a vehicle with the 2.4, and am surprised to see all the reports of failed engines and at not even very high miles. I thought it was more reliable.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Clicking / Tapping Sound From Front End When Not Using Brakes
I've got a clicking in my car right now, it's not a constant noise, but only after I've been driving awhile without using my brakes. Slowly gets louder and louder. Goes away completely when I put my brakes on for a second and starts again when I let off of the brakes. Its speed related, so its quicker when I'm going faster.

I"m getting a tapping sound coming from the dash. It happens every time I start the car(hot or cold engine) and lasts for about 10 seconds. It also happens when I adjust the fan speed for the heater/AC, NOT when I first turn the blower motor on. The noise was completely gone after I removed the heater fuse.

I have a 2010 Accent. My Accent has a tapping sound when the engine is cold. I have read on this site that others have had this problems and it was the chain tensioner. I was wondering if this was something Hyundia would fix for free or how much it cost to get this fixed. Is there a recall for this problem? There appears to be a problem with a chain tensioner on the 2010 model of Accent.

I've been noticing a tapping sound coming from the rear driver's side of the car recently, and it's only when idling after the car has warmed up. Someone has said that it may be the Leak Detection Pump located above the wheel well in the rear driver's side of the car. My question is does the tapping sound mean that it's going bad?

2003 Jetta GLS 1.8T
Every time I press the brake pedal a buzzing sound can be heard. Every single time. Without fail. Moving or parked.
I just had the tranny rebuilt and it's possible something was broken or unplugged. I've done a search on google and can't find anything specific. I'm thinking something to do with ABS. Problem started a week ago when it came back from the rebuild.
I'll try to get a video and post. Was funny at first. Now it's annoying.
Volkswagen - Jetta :: 1999 - Tapping Sound That Diminishes After Warm Up
Car & History:- 99 Jetta, 2.0 AEG engine, manual. 86,000 miles. Bought at 70,000 miles 3 years ago.- low oil warning once in 2013 maybe. since been using 5w-40 synthetic and used Ceratec additive once. Been doing regular oil changes.- replaced original fuel filter at 80,000 mi- gaskets have been going. Replaced thermostat and gasket. Replaced leaking oil cooler gasket. Valve cover gasket has been leaking for at least 1 year. Will replace.- Replaced timing belt, tensioner, water pump, and serpentine belt at 84,000 miles.- Flushed radiator at 84,000 miles.- All break rotors and pads at 80,000 miles- Replaced battery at 75,000 miles- Gas mileage: 26mpg
Problem:- the sound is similar to a tapping. This has been going on for a year or more.- very noticeable and loudest when cold- worse in the lower gears- diminishes once warmed up (5 minutes)- happens only under load - so 5th gear and letting off the gas pedal (coasting) it's not noticeable.- JUST TODAY: 20 degrees F, and wouldn't start on first try. Cranked for 6 seconds probably. Second time I turned the key, it started no problem.
Things of note:- By peaking behind the engine, it looks as though the oxygen sensor wire covering (pre cat) is getting a little frayed at one spot.- When I bought it I noticed new spark plug wires.
My thoughts:- Exhaust manifold gasket (to the head) is bad. So when it gets warm the bad gasket expands and stops the noise.- It's not the valve lifters because the noise goes away when warm and not really heard when gas pedal isn't engaged.- Replace the O2 sensor?
Attachments:- 3 audio files. I put my car under my hood and went for a drive. You can hear when I engage the clutch, the ticking sort of goes away. - Pictures of the frayed O2 sensor wire ...
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Loud Tapping Sound In The Engine
I bought a 2009 F-150 King Ranch a few months back. It has 125k miles on it and the only aftermarket thing on it is some larger tires. I love the truck but twice now (at two totally different driving instances) I have started hearing this bad sounding tap in the engine. The majority of the time it has ONLY been when I am in drive or reverse. I can especially hear it if I am going through a drive through. Anyways as I was backing into a parking space today it started making an even louder tapping sound. I recorded it and have provided the link to youtube..
It continued to make this terrible sound until I revved it slightly and then it went back to normal idle. This all started as I was in reverse backing up but this is the first time it has continued even into neutral. Really hoping for not terrible news on this. Ive read about the cam phaser issue and nothing has been done to those yet. It is the 5.4L and a 4x4. How to fix this and not have a clunker for a truck...
Here is the link to the youtube video of the truck running... it was too large to be uploaded on here : [URL] .....
Camry :: 2007 Toyota - Loud Tapping Noise While AC Is On
In my 2007 toyota camry, 4 cyl, W/ 120K miles, I have loud tapping noise while the A/C is on. Noise is only heard when the car is idling or when coming to a stop light. No noise when A/C is off.
Its sounds like the tapping noise is coming from top end of the engine. Engine shakes also while noise is present.
To me it sounds like piston slap which I am going to try to isolate it by running high octan gas. Personally I don't think its piston slap.
Maintenance stuff done: ireduim spark plugs, air/ cabin filter, drive belt, water pump @ 60K, oil change every 5K.
Problem 2: Also is there any fix for Radio AUX noise in speakers beside Toyota TSB on it. Getting electrical noise in the speakers through cellphone when its charging through car power outlet.
