XJR ´95 Engine idle noise
Hi
Car in question XJR (X306) with 273000 km in the odo. As I am slightly paranoid; I am having some doubts that the engine is having big end bearing issues... Video of engine idle : the supercharger belt is off so the noise is not coming from there Any ideas, opinions or suggestions? (Well outside of the obvious, if it is the big end bearings I am up the shit creek without a paddle; the availability of those is bit scarce ) thanks in advance Antti |
Sounds louder towards the front, it seems. To my ears, at least.
Might be a pulley bearing noise....a/c compressor, alternator, water pump. Or bearing noise from one of the idler pulleys. I had to replace all the idlers on my XJR over a period of time because of noise. I my case it was more of a grinding sound than knocking....but noises can play tricks. Remove the other belts and have a listen Cheers DD |
What sort of oil is in it?
|
Well I suppose it is
5W-40 Liqui Moly Top Tec 4100 as this is what the previous owner told me he had used. I was planning to do oil and filter change this weekend just in case ... |
well weird. With supercharger belt in place sound disappears at least to the extend my ears can hear.
I will post a new video when there is light back in the sky... basically next time in spring :icon_frown: |
