I'll do it my way(not)

[Veefor]

Ok little update.
Bought a car.
940 hpt auto
Got it for a song.
Bit I think it's screwed.
There is a really weird noise coming from engine.
It goes a little bit like this....
Remember when children could actually go out and play without constant supervision?
Well when I was growing up we used to put cards in our wheels and a peg on the fork leg and the sound made us think we were on motorbikes( ok I did grow up a stones throw from Brands Hatch).
My new Volvo sounds just like that.Yeah funny.
Not for me.
What is it peeps?
It's not the Turbo, that pulls like a train.
Exhaust is blowing, I know that much
any ideas?
Hoping it won't cost an arm and a leg, as I'm legless at the moment.
Any help,would be good.
Cheers.

it back.Other than that it's the b220 engine and dreaded Aicon sunroof both go one, they ar

It might be the exhaust manifold leaking on just one cylinder or a crack round the back of it where you can't see. A loose or missing spark plug would make a similar but louder noise but the car wouldn't be running properly.
Have a listen to where the noise id coming from (roughly) with the bonnet up and give us a few more clues.

I was more then a bit confused as you have stuck this in the wanted section, I've got some funny (or not) noises you can have if you want them !

Steve,
Yeah I was thinking maybe if the noise could be found then the lucky winner could take prize away with them.
Well spotted I get it moved asap.the post not the prize.
Haha
Thanks

Manifold to exhaust pipe gasket leak can make these odd ticking noises. Have a check with your hand after a cold start. Don't try this with a hot engine.....

Tappets out of spec on one cylinder?
Not a big job but quite technical.
My last engine ticked massively but I never fixed it, quite liked it really.
It died of a broken water hose underneath.
