doublek Member 333 Member For: 20y 6m 6d Location: sydney Posted 15/09/05 11:39 PM Share Posted 15/09/05 11:39 PM just wondering if anyone else has had this.as I was driving yesterday I heard an almighty bang which semed to be like someone had smashed into my car from the rear side. funny thing is there were no other cars around. I then though that I went over someting on the road which hit the car but there was nothing on the road. this is the second time this has happened and I though that maybe the diff fell off.the car seems to be running fine still. do you think that I should get it checked out. anyone else had this?

I just realized that I have changed from using optimax to caltex and have been putting the normal premium in with a normal unleaded in between.could this be it?

doublek Member 333 Member For: 20y 6m 6d Location: sydney Posted 16/09/05 01:42 AM Author Share Posted 16/09/05 01:42 AM could you tell by driving it if it is a broken cv. there would be a noise or it would not feel right.the thing is it drives normal. no other issues at all.

Does the car still go OK if you give it some stick? If it does, then it definitely wont be a broken CV.It does sound like it's just a loud backfire.Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed from optimax to caltex. from 98 to 95 then to normal unleaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
