strange noise, need help

[Lord]

well, i found a strange noise today,.....i have no idea if it was there before....but it has a "click.click.click....." medium lourd, we can hear it very clearly in car, and it's very noticetable when we check engin...it sounds like injector, but lourd....maybe it normal.

any idea ?

i have 150miles on my car, i drove hard 20miles/150miles....

well...

i also have the click, it was noticable when i picked it up from the dealer, i figure it is injectors, i wouldnt worry, mine has been running fine fo 9K.

[Lord]

you sure ???%?%?$%?/W$""%?

only one injector makes the song ?
-i am total n00b

Every WRX has it...I heard it was the alternator, but I'm not sure. Either way, no need to worry

I was listening to and worrying about some knocking of my WRX engine too. It seems to come from the front driver-side of the engine and goes away when the engine is warmed up. Might this be the same you hear?

[Lord]

i am freaking up with all these unwanted noises under my hood !!! ((

what the *&%#, $24,000 later and i have a horrible ticking sound, and an obnoxious knock until the car is at operating temp. I just sold my 93 chevy fullsize pickup with 137,000 miles on it, never once did i hear any noises like this. I've been told that the noises i am hearing are charachteristic of the boxer engine, I find it hard to believe that these noises could be acceptable. I'm bringing my car to the dealership within the next two weeks for a definite diagnosis. Hopefully it will all be ironed out.

[Lord]

dealer always tell me... "IT'S NORMAL"


heheheheh

[car]

NOT NORMAL!

It's your cam belt tensioner. Get it fixed. Took mine in last week, took 1 day, no more ticking. Subaru USA told me that if the belt was to go, so too would the motor.

[Lord]

whoowhoo,,....they replaced my cam belt tensioner too !!! took 2 hours under warranty :P

it's hard to convince them
