ripped6 Donating Members 246 Member For: 13y 9m 28d Gender: Male Posted 22/10/12 09:59 AM Share Posted 22/10/12 09:59 AM Was cruising home tonight at 50km/hr and started slowing down when my engine started making this shocking sound like 'clack clack clack' repeatedly, closest thing I could determine was a stick in the fan kinda sound. It still runs and everything works, no errors on the dash but the noise is pretty damn loud. I can't see anything that would cause the sound when I poked my head around the engine. Anyone got any ideas what might cause this? I will be getting it towed into the dealership tomorrow but if it's something simple then I might not have to...

A big end bearing? is that expensive to fix?

Boosted1 Member 346 Member For: 16y 6m 5d Posted 22/10/12 10:07 AM Share Posted 22/10/12 10:07 AM (edited) yep! it is there at idle mate and if you increase the revs it goes away. (not always though) but if it is the felx plate, dont drive it till its fixed. can elongate the bolt holes in the end of the crankshaft.
