oil temp sky high and wont go down even when idleing, major knocking noise coming from somewhere more like a tapping actully but really loud.
is this it for my engine? any ideas what it is?

I have just got her back on the road after a falty maf senser caused her to run lean could this have caused the problem even tho there is a new maf sensor and the hesatation has gone?

cheeers

Hi Mike,

Doesn't sound good I'm afraid mate.

Give David at APi a bell for advice,

Best,

Paul

 

sounds like bad times mate, as above, give API a ring

 

oil temp wont go down even at idle,its supposed to maintain a temp,so if its at 90 degress C it will be all day long (unless ragging it etc)

oil PRESSURE is where you will get your comparisons from, if its at 1 bar at idle then sounds like big ends etc etc

 

sounds like what happenend to mine that mate a few days later heard a massive clunk when i tried starting it and that was it never turned over again i would not move it or try starting again if i were you and get someone in the know to have a look as it may be salvageable at the moment or at least most of it unlike mine

 

aint got a oil pressure guage mate but yeah oil temp went to 110 under normal driving and never went down even after leaving it for 10 min idleing. I aint no mechanic but i dont understand why it wouldnt go down. I do no my engine is fcuked lol will av to give them a ring to see if i can rebuild or whole new engine

cheers for the advice guys

Mike

 

have u tried an oil change,maybe the oil is old and thin ??

 

changed it about 1500 miles ago. it must be something seriouse because she dont sound healthy. i just started her up after leaving her to coool down completely and the noise is quiter but still there

thinking of just breaking the scoob and getting something else a lil easyer on insurance, dont no if i can part with her tho lol

 

try and get a sound clip and load it up,does sound terminal (big ends) but you never know

 

Big end bearing

 

As Alyn at AS says - big end. Expect a minimum of £1400.00 + VAT to fix it.

Myles the Great?, is that you ? I thought you'd gone Evo, or am I thinking of someone else ??
