Slow Scoobie Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I got my ECM replaced yesterday by the dealership for the radiator fan recall. Prior to the service I never heard this sound. So far it seems to only happen during cold start idle and is intermittent and does not follow a specific pattern (as far as I can tell). Any one have any ideas as to what it maybe or experienced this themselves? Also the entire time I've owned the car it has had the constant radiator fan on problem until yesterday. Plus I don't know how long that problem existed prior to me purchasing the vehicle.

apexi Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Sounds like it could be the throw out bearing. Does the car have a manual transmission? Does the sound change when you push the clutch pedal in/out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Scoobie Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yea the car is a manual trans. I know one of the bearing be it the throw out or input shaft bearing is bad or maybe both. During deceleration I get a rattling noise from the trans that goes away when I push in the clutch. Only asking since I never heard this sound specifically before.

KRM Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 if you know that one or both bearings are bad, stop driving the car until its fixed. if you're mechanically able to change a clutch its pretty easy to get to those parts on these cars.

I wish, but this car is my main source of transportation so I can't let it sit. I will change the bearings myself but doing it in the driveway in 10F isn't something Im looking forward too . Also figured since i'm already down there might aswell put in a new clutch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
