Did you notice this noise when you first bought it or did it take a while before it started making that noise. I am just wondering because I think mine was built in that time.

I noticed it about 2 months after I bought it. It only done it about once every week or so. Then it started doin it more often. Now it does it just about every day. But it's not a constant noise. It only does it for a few minutes about every time the car is warming up..

 

My car was built August 28th so I hope my engine is ok!

 

I wish mine was ok. I hate to see them tear her down

 

fr33k--pm'd you my VIN, could you check into this for me?

 

Your build date is 05/10/2006 so you might be one of the unlucky ones like me Hope not though.

edit: What was the problem that the dealer couldn't find?

 

yeah it sucks cause threads like these that are important and useful will eventually get lost among the abyss!


STICKY or NEW TOPIC FORUM!

 

Hey i have a question i hear it when i start it up and it comes and goes i bought it around april 2006 should i have it check and how are you getting yours fixed but the dealer or you have to by your self just woundering

 

ticking coming from the engine bay--first they gave me a CND (could not duplicate, for us F-16 folks)--then second time around, they heard it but couldn't figure out what it was. I'll have them check into this again. Also, if I don't hold my clutch for 5+ seconds before shifting into reverse, it grinds into gear--may have them check into that as well. The manager there is really cool, so I don't see him boning me over it. Paid cash for the car, and get all of my modifications installed there (minus oil changes--only the best (Royal Purple) for my beast, so if there's anything wrong, I'm sure they'll do what it takes to make it perfect.

Thanks a TON for the info, fr33k! You're a godsend. Would you be able to pm me my assembly line number (like #500 out of 10,000 or whatever were made, etc)?

I agree, this thread should be stickied or thrown up on the main page with maybe a link to where to find our build dates, etc. I would love to know every available statistic on my car.

 

I would definitely get it checked out.

The dealership where I work is goin to do the work. I'm good friends with the service manager and the main tech. I help them out alot and they help me. So far, as long as I worked here, I have NEVER paid for any work or paid for oil changes on any of my vehicles I've owned. The mighty power of the pencil. hehe.

 

Stupid question but is the VIN the number under the winshield on the drivers side?

 

Your CND might be this problem.

I dont have access to the line numbers. I wish I did. I would like to know myself

Yup. Or on your drivers door on the jamb

This happened with mine and my build date was in late nov 06 , they replaced the timing chain tensioner under warranty now its fine

 

they never looked at mine. and i have an early 07, and complained about it even with 1200miles onit. i told them exactly where and what but they didnt seem to care much

 

Yours was built on 01/11/2006. But you do have an open campaign for the 06217 head restraint thingy.

 

Hey were you able to check my VIN out, I posted mine in a few post up???

 

PM sent fr33k.

 

Hey man are you just checking randomly people or who ever sends you there vin cause i belive mine was built but not sure is so can you check mine when you get some free time?

 

I'm checking build dates for peeps that give me their VIN's. I don't have any way of checking without it.
