Question regarding the flex plate.....would it still make noise under load? - thought it doesn't when it has this fault mine does under load.... but it never used to... Initially they don't make noise under load but as they get worse they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendosxr6t Member 11 Member For: 12y 5m 29d Posted 03/06/16 07:29 AM Author Share Posted 03/06/16 07:29 AM Hey Guys.......sh*t.....last sunday I needed to go literally 2 km up the road so I thought I would just take it easy and the damn thing turned off on me and wont turn on now..... ....before you all bomb me...... I know I am a dummass.....I have been told well and truly by my family....DAMN. I pushed it home as I was literally at the end of our road and its been sitting there a week tryning to figure out someone to trust to take it too..... could a flex plate issue do this?....or do you think the engine has siezed?.....I didn't hear anything abnormal as I had music going..... when I turn it on now it just makes a tick tick tick tick noise, doesnt even sound like it is attempting to turn over, the battery is relatively new, oil level is lowish but okay (Did an oil and filter change about 3 weeks ago) any advise would be appreciated to help me get out of my stupid dumass situation..... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got electrical power to dash, locks, etc? All fuses ok? Sometimes the most catastrophic symptoms turn out to be something easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know ow though - it could be something simple and unrelated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, it wasnt the flex plate, something was wrong with cylinder 6....I just paid for a new engine from a wreckers...$3k (incl spare turbo - hopefully get some cash back for it) expensive....but not much you can do!!....lucky these engines are reasonably cheap!!.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
