MPS 6 engine bay making clicking noises?

[N3RDPWR]

Heh... when my engine was making a louder then normal clicking noise... she was broken good...

But it was certainly louder then normal...

even a gen 1 3mps as they use the same engine. id put money on it being the direct injectors (they really do make the car sound like a diesel) or lifter noise.

if your worried, go see your trusted mechanic. i have 2, ones by best mate who is a diesel mech, the other is mark nixon auto here in townsville for more full on stuff

Well I found out that the clicking / ticking noise at idle and gets faster when reving, is normal. Strange but normal :l

Also in first and second gear, when I give it and step on the clutch there seems to be like.. a loudish clanking noise? Sounds like something rolling in the boot, but theres nothing in there -.-

That noise could be your rear diff mount moving.

It has something to do with the clutch. To be more precise now the sound is like when your about to stall, or the car door opening

"Klunk" noise

[andy b]

That could still be diff, or engine. If you're giving it a bit and suddenly back off for a gearchange, the engine will move because its no longer putting the power down. This can be transmitted to the diff because its all connected. And don't forget, because the rear diff is probably driving near 50% torque under hard acceleration in low gears (PTO mode), when you go to change gears its also a little clunky

Would all this be fixed by a rear engine mount and diff mount?

[Nepharius]

The clunk noise when you change gears hard is fixed by a firmer engine mount. I replaced mine with a CPe one for this very reason. You can get them from the USA from a few stores, protege garage, streetunit, therpmstore or locally from mpsgarage (all online stores). Sure there might be a few other places too.
