Hey,


Is there anyone in the Middlesex or Union country area that has a STOCK SS/TC that I could listen to the engine tonight. I have my car at the dealership with an odd engine noise. They are trying to tell me it's a "normal" noise, and I want to hear if anyone else's car makes the same noise.

 

Prolly direct injection.

 

they do make a loud, rapid ticking noise. that should be it though.

 

if its a ticking noise coming from the head area its perfectly ok. its the d.i. there is alot of pressure in that system. muffler delete will rid of that noise

 

I know the ticking noise is normal... But there is also a clicking noise like something is loose in this area (disclaimer: NO this is not a picture of MY CAR, I am using it for the engine picture).

 

~Bump~

 

go to a dealership and check out another SS/TC on the lot, see if it does the same thing.

 

They have no SS/TC on the lot.... New or Used

 

do you live in a black hole? go to another Chevy dealership..... there's tons of them in NJ.

 

well i highly doubt there is a issue with your car.. Does it make this sound all the time, or just when cold. does it make the sound ever other second or is it constant all the time if so look for a vacuum leak or if you bought it used look for mods tune ect!

 

Makes it all the time... and I bought it new. And the dealership said they heard the noice and changed the fuel pump and dampner because of the noise. When I went to pick it up last night, I started it up at the dealership and the noise was there. Then they proceed to tell me that the noise is normal. How can it be normal and they had to change parts because of it. That is why I want to hear another cobalt engine to confirm.

 

there was a recall for the d.i pump to install the insulator to make less noise... but i see you have it..... I understand your wtfness lol................. BUT I HOPE YOU FIND SOMONE SO YOU CAN SEE ITS PROB NORMAL.
