Another Engine Noise Thread
Alright guys, I bought a 1999 Trans am A4 about 2300 miles ago...Changed the oil at exactly 100,000 and it now has 101,3xx on it. The other day i moved the car out of my driveway and noticed a light noise. I popped my hood and noticed it was quite loud and it never made it before. It sounds like a tap but I cant tell if it sounds low. I listened with a screw driver and it seems to be the same noise all over no matter where i listen. It gets louder with small rev's but with a 1800+ rev it goes away or atleast gets drowned out by the exhaust and engine. I can't tell if its a lifter or possibly worse. I cut open the oil filter and the oil that is 1300 miles old has a lot of metallic in the oil. And there are a few bigger pieces. looks kind of like bearing but cant be certain. But there are quite a few bigger pieces but not tons for immediate concern of failure but deffinatly on its way out. or somethings failing. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys
