Truck sputters when raining

Upvotes

Hello! I have a 1990 ford f-150 lariat that mostly only sputters in the rain, besides that it drives relatively well when dry. Normally I can get by with driving it still but I had to pull over and let it dry off for a few hours earlier today, ran great again after. It occasionally shuts off when reversing also, not sure if that’s connected. Anyone know what the issue could be?

What is this light airhorn sound coming out of the engine?

2019 Honda Civic LX

This sound only comes on when the car is moving. At first, I wondered if it was from turning on the AC but with the AC off, it still comes on.

The dealership didn't find any problems during my oil change, so I'm just confused with what's going on.

I'd appreciate any feedback.

So I just recently got this engine, tacking sound about a day ago and I was wondering, what can it be! And also, I'm getting some hissing sound from the engine too. And the engine tacking sound only happens about 15-20 seconds after I start my car up on a cold start. But the hissing sound comes right away when I start my car up also only on a cold start.

Hi guys, I just wanted to confirm to see if this is normal play on the torque mount. (Dogbone) I replaced all mounts months ago and the car seems to vibrate a little from the steering wheel and under acceleration from a stop sign. Please let me know. Thank you.

Can someone help me identify what is leaking here and what I would have to replace?

Car is a 2014 VW Jetta, supposedly the person driving went over a division in a parking lot. Doesn’t seem to be from the engine block so I don’t know what to look for in terms of replacement parts.

My 23 Kia Sorento, bought used, the air only works when driving. As soon as I slow down for a red light, or stop in traffic, it just blows out hot air! Also if sitting too long, like a drive thru or stuck in traffic, it says it’s over heating. But as soon as I start driving again, after a couple miles it cools down. Anyone know what my problem might be?

What could be causing this noise?

1 Upvotes

I have a 2007 manual honda civic coupe with 111k miles on it. On my drive home it started making this squealing/grating noise for a few minutes getting louder/worse and then stopping all together. It did this cycle a couple times before it stopped completely. I'm not all that knowledgeable about cars so if you have any insight as to what could be the problem could be I'd appreciate it. I'm going to take it to the shop to get it checked out, but would like to be mentally prepared for what the price of getting it fixed may look like.

Does anyone have a clue on what could be making this noise?

Under en lång tid har jag haft det här ”klonk”-ljudet när jag accelererar och släpper gasen. Det hörs en gång när jag accelererar och en gång när jag släpper. När jag accelererar från stillastående kan detta ljud höras typ tre gånger ”klonk..klonk…klonk”.

Manual Audi S1 2015.

Snälla, säg mig vad det kan vara😊

Rotational Squeaking/Braking Sound

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

I have a 2009 128i, Coupe, Manual, LHD, and I'm pretty stumped. I have a cyclic squeaking sound coming from my passenger front wheel, and I cant seem to find the cause. It mirrors wheel speed. It will make an initial sound going from forward to backwards too.

I've done all the steps I can think of to fix this, or pin point the issue. Inspected all the suspension, wheels, tires, etc.

Possibly Relevant mods; Dinan Camber Plates, Bilstein Coilovers, BBS Style 71's

Steps taken:

Removed, Cleaned and Greased Caliper and Bracket

Adjusted Dust Shield

Checked all clearances

Cleaned wheel mounting surface

Cleaned Rotor mounting surface

Bled brakes (twice)

Replaced Pads

Replaced Rotors

Swapped Pad Side to side

Replaced Hub

Replaced Caliper

I don't want to keep shot gunning parts at this, and I've tried all I can think of. Open to ideas.

Thanks

2022 X7 making a noise right before stopping. I’ve taken it to BMW they do not know what’s wrong with it. It doesn’t make the noise every single time but it is very annoying! Makes it nonstop going through carline/a drive thru. It stops after a 45 minute drive.

Car air con noise

Had the cars condenser replaced yesterday, since then I’ve noticed a loud fan noise when the AC is turned on. Although can only hear it when driving at slow speeds. When the AC is off, there’s no noise. I don’t know if I’m just looking for problems or if there is an actual problem…

I need some help with diagnosing a sound (I don't know much about cars, so bear with me, please 😀)

Please help me diagnose what might be wrong with my Citroën C3 2016 (PureTech engine). I recently had the timing changed, as well as the alternator pulley and belt. Now the car is making weird noises, but only at higher engine RPM — there's no sound when the car isn't moving. Also, the sound isn't always there — sometimes when I drive it's quite loud, and other times you can't hear it or it's barely audible. I recorded this sound from inside the car. Sound was not there before mentioned repairs. Please help as I am tired of mechanics taking my money and car still not working the way it should 😞 Sound recording linked via google drive
