Anyone from Townsville area on here???

[Craig09]

hard to say without hearing it and im not a guru by any means but id be looking at your turbo

 

[Craig09]

even if it is just to rule it out

 

[derp22]

nah its not the turbo its something to do with suspension, wheel bearings or cv's or something

 

[Craig09]

so its deffently not in the engine bay??thats good coz the cvs,bearings suspension and what not is pretty simple to do yourself,if it increases when you put your foot down look at your bearings,jack it up and see if you can wiggle your wheel.if you want a hand let me know,i bought a press to do my bearings not long ago just to make it easier

[derp22]

pissing me off this thing is making my car sound so shit and i have no time to fix it... sigs course...

 

[briggo]

i know a mechanic in 1rar tech/spt he is looking for things to do for a bit of extra cash he should be able to fix it while you are at work or just after you want his ph ? he ask for about $20 an hour or somthing like that

 

[Craig09]

does he want to replace an engine,lol
but serious is he a good mechanic?

 

[briggo]

yea mate he's good at his job only thing is you dont get the assurances that you get at other professional mechanics. but if you buy the parts he can do pretty much anything.

 

[Craig09]

ok sweet,will have to see what i can get the new engine for and go from there

 

[briggo]

what happened to the old one ?

 

[Boxy]

ok sweet,will have to see what i can get the new engine for and go from there

What's wrong hwith ya engine

 

[derp22]

i might take you up on that offer surely its not too hard or expensive to replace a bearing or belt right? im going to spray some silicone spray on the belt and bearings too see if anything changes cheers

 

[Craig09]

timeing chain just snapped going about 60ks with no warning or anything,anyway pistons kept going when i was rolling to a stop and bent the valves,to add to that i need a new injector pump aswell.
Nau if its the belt or pully bearing there a pretty quick and easy job,briggos mate would be able to get it done for you pretty quick
