SeanyBeez Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 hi all, please move if in wrong place!, been noticing when pulling away in low gears a ticking sound, when i pulled up i had a look under hood to see if the noise was comming from there but all i can here is the belt ticking, but when i move halfway down the car i can here the ticking noise it sounds like a rattle from an exhaust, does this happen much or has anyone had this type of plroblem before? its hard to explain the noise but it is like the exhaust is rattling thats the only description i can tell ya, hope anyone could help its due a 60,000 service so when i finally get it in the garage hopefully they will pick it up! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Good luck with the garage picking it up if it's a Nissan dealer Depending on the "ticking" but it sounds like the imfamous clixy axle. Garage can grease & rotate which will alleviate for a while. Best option is to get the full kit from Zmanalex (I think) & get an independant garage to fit if you want to get rid of completely. If not this then it could just be the metal of the exhaust contracting from the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
