engine knocking like crazy. do i have a claim?


Recommended Posts

Well they fixed the intake. Check engine light came on a day later. Took it back. He said it was the catalytic converter since all the coolant flushed out the exhaust when the.intake went. They changed the plugs and.stuff from before. He told me like look its ok to drive on it. Unless you have emissions coming up. I told him well I need a car right now. He quoted me a.good price on a new cat. I said ok next week I should have more time to take it into you. He said yea that's fine. He said he's 80% sure that its a cat but he just pulled the code and stuff he didn't get all that into it.

That was last week. Been driving to work since. I called him yesterday to say I was gonna take it in today to change the cat. He said well talk in the am. I went to drop it off this morning car starts

BANG BANG TING TING TING knocking like WTF!! I shut down and called him. Like look man I'm not driving this up there even though its 1.3 mi away. He said that he has to.meet someone at 11A but would swing by the look at it himself after he got.back.

My brother says (hes a mechanic) to hold them responsible for any repairs needed. And I plan on it. Just looking for any opinions or advice.

I didn't look into it at all. It's very loud from inside the cabin. It's like a clicking noise very loud. I turned it off and restarted to make sure I wasn't hearing things. Same thing. No new lights on or anything just sound terrible.

Man o man this sucks.

He says its lifters.. making the noises. Ok to drive on. I said I didn't give it to you like that. I don't want it back like that. Driving it over there now. I tried to take a video of it. Not sure how good it is.. ill post it up if its useful.

Hate to tell you this but getting your upper and lower intake gaskets replaced has nothing to do with your lifters. It probably is caused from you driving it even though it was clearly overheating. In most cases by the time a warning light (often called "idiot lights") comes on, the damage is already done. You more than likely overheated the motor(lifters) to the point of failure. My guess is if you get it fixed the lifters are probably scorched(blue/black in color) from extreme heat.

Just don't like how after they fixed it all these things keep coming up. And if you tell me its ok to do drive and something else breaks I feel like its your fault.

Well the things that have come up and could continue to come up are a direct result of overheating. And as far as him telling you "its ok to keep driving it with lifters making noise", hes asking for someone to sue him for damage that happened as a direct result of poor/bad advise.
