For the last day or so ive been hearing a very light clicking noise coming from the drivers side of my car it sounds like metal hitting metal. It happens randomly but most of the Time while im moving(not nessesarly accelerating) i can not Figure out where its coming from i had my friend drive with me to try to figure it out and he couldnt either and more i listen to it it sounds like its coming from my drivers side wheel well. Everythings running fine its just very annoying. Please help!

a light clicking noise? like metal hitting metal? it's not grinding right? a clicking like metal tapping metal? check near the wheel well for anything that may have come loose then. does it occur when u make turns or anything? low speeds? high speeds? or any time randomly.

 

it is a light clicking noise like metal hitting metal not grinding it does it randomly no matter what i do.

 

i dunno- the light clicking noise in my car- got louder and more frequesnt- until eventually my connecting rod snapped- bent the valves/fucked up the first cylinder- and there went my d16z6.

 

how could that happen ?? so the pisten came loss ?

 

nah the piston didnt come lose, i guess the rod had a small crack in it- and the more i drove the worse it got, until it completely snapped and got stuck like sideways, locked up the whole motor...intake and exhaust valves both looked like this after too... /\/\/\/

 

man that scared the **** out of me after i read it. After i read this i went and looked again for what was causing it i noticed when i opened my hood the thing the hood latch snaps into when you close the hood got very loose somehow and caused the latch to bang against my fender.
on me
