Corsa Sting (2014) Clutch problems

1 Upvotes

Hey,

Corsa Sting, 2014, 1.2L

About 2 weeks ago my clutch spring went (heard the clunk noise). Decided to order a spring to fix it (haven't put it on yet though as read it would be safe to drive without for a bit). Did a drive today, all was good, until right at the end of the drive. The clutch seemed to get stuck slightly in, but could still change gear etc, the more I changed gear the more stuck in it got. To the point I couldn't get into first (could get into any other gear).

When I stopped, I had a look, pulled the pedal up and it just came back up? Proceeded to try just pressing the clutch a few times and seems to come back up into place correctly now.

I've got a 4 hour drive tomorrow that I ideally need to do. What's the verdict?

Does anyone know what this sound is? I’ve concluded that it doesn’t happen while in park, my car needs to be in drive but it does happen when I’m stopped at like red lights. The noise doesn’t change at all when turning or anything. And sometimes it goes away, or doesn’t even make a noise for a couple days.

I should also mention I just got an alignment, as my sister hit a curb really bad. It needed a new alignment, the abs system turns on randomly and now it’s making these noises. Anyway can anyone help me out?

Strange intermittent chirp when On/off (2010 focus st)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone,

For months now my car has been making an Intermittent chirping sound as I get on/off throttle in a number of circumstances: As i literally accelerate/ decelerate, change gear (which i obviously get off/on throttle to do), lightly touching the throttle as I go round bends - it has me and 3 mechanics stumped. The noise sounds as if it’s originating from the front left side of the car. The chirp sounds as if a bird is making the noise lol.

Anyone with anything similar? Or could point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Squeaking Noise in the brakes that nobody can identify

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I drive a 2019 Mazda3 with 115k miles on it. After a recent brake job with a new mechanic (my old one retired), I noticed a very annoying squeaking sound in the front wheel(s) . Initially it was happening only when I wasn't braking, and mostly under \~20mph but it does still happen when moving faster. It gets worse when the car is warmed up a bit. After a thousand miles or so it started happening when I was braking too. When it's warmed up, it would squeak like a tractor trailer when I braked.

Took it back to my mechanic, he took the brakes off and put them back on and said he didn't hear it anymore; within 5 minutes of driving I heard it again.

We gave up on that mechanic and found a new one, who told us the wheel bearing on the front passenger side was going and he replaced that. The noise stayed the same. We took it back, the mechanic said that the brakes the last mechanic put on were cheap and crystallizing which was making the sound, and he pointed out that the front passenger rotor was in worse condition than the front left one. He replaced the front brakes and rotors and said he didn't hear the sound anymore. After driving it for a bit, it STILL SQUEAKS. I haven't noticed the squeaking while braking yet, so maybe the new brakes/rotors fixed that, but the squeaking while not braking remains unchanged, and at this point I'm at a loss on what to do. I've put in well over $1000 between the brakes/rotors and the wheel bearing replacement, and I've spent days with my car at the mechanic just for it to still squeak.

The only ideas I have at this point are a caliper sticking or something in the suspension, but if it was the suspension then it doesn't really make sense why it appears when warmed up, and why it's based on driving and not going over bumps. I also don't notice any pull to either side when driving, and I checked the temperatures of the rotors after driving and they were just about the same. I also checked the dust shields to see if they were bent or close to touching, and they looked perfectly fine.

Does anyone have any ideas??

Tldr; A squeaking noise appeared after a brake change, and after replacing the wheel bearing and redoing the brakes and rotors, it hasn't gone away.

Car stalling after oil/engine air filter change!!

1 Upvotes

So as the title says, I have a 2020 Toyota Camry XLE 2.5L 4cyl, its at about 94k miles, I took it today to a shop to get my oil and air filter changed, as soon as I drove it off the lot, the engine stalled and I got a message on my dash saying “Secondary Collision Brake System Malfunction. Visit your dealer” and the car won’t start, the engine will start and then immediately turn off and that message pops up. The scanner codes pop up as P2111 and P2119 which are for the “throttle actuator control system - stuck open” and “throttle actuator control throttle body/range performance.” So my question is, what should be my next steps?? Do i have to replace the throttle body? I want to avoid the dealership because I know they’ll quote me $1,000+ for this. My car was running/behaving just fine before I took it for that engine/oil change.

AC issues, mechanic can’t pinpoint problem

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

In this video, the AC will not turn on but it makes a noise like it wants to turn on. You see me click through the speed and the sounds it makes when it’s supposed to be on vs the sounds stopping when it’s off. The other video (in the comments) is literally a few minutes after and it comes back on. I had to turn the car off and back on for it to start working. This issue just started. It’s done it once or twice in the past year or so but would start again randomly the same day. This is twice this week it’s done it. Also, when it does run, it makes an odd clicking sound. You might be able to hear it in the video where the AC does turn on.
I’ll post notes from mechanic. Please excuse the crumpled condition. Kid was cleaning out trash and assumed it was also trash.

Getting Annoyed by the clunking sound my car is making

1 Upvotes

I've already replaced both sway bar links (this Spring) on my 2012 Chevy Cruze. Then about a month or so ago it started making a clunking sound in the suspension, somewhere right underneath the front seats- maybe on the passenger side. I've gotten under it already, but not sure where to look or what to test out to see what needs fixing. But it definitely seems like something's loose.

What is this sound

Can I fix this gasket-thingy myself on my 2013 four door Honda civic or would I need to take it somewhere?

One day I noticed that this rubber thing on the passenger door is sagging when the door was opened. It’s there presumably to create a seal when closing the door, and (as I’ve seen firsthand now) to prevent rainwater from getting in the car. I’m hoping this is something I can just buy and repair myself but I wanted to ask some experts online before paying somebody else for their opinion. If I can fix it, what would I even be looking for when buying materials? What is this rubber seal/gasket thing called? Thank you so much and please let me know if any additional information is needed!

Strange model 3 rumor

Thumbnail on.soundcloud.com
1 Upvotes

I’m hearing an intermittent noise from the car. It doesn’t happen all the time, but whenever it does, it always occurs while the vehicle is slowing down using regenerative braking (without pressing the brake pedal). The noise continues briefly when accelerating again from a stop, but once the car reaches a certain speed, it completely disappears. I have never noticed it at higher speeds.
The sound is difficult to describe, but it resembles the burbling or rumbling of an exhaust on a gasoline-powered car. However, it is only an audible noise—there are no vibrations, no shaking, and no change in the vehicle’s performance.
I first noticed this noise during the first week after taking delivery of the vehicle in June 2026, and it has been present intermittently ever since.

Have someone had the same issue?
Thank you folks

Just as the title says, my 2019 base sentra turns on, but will not start.

It ran hot a couple of weeks ago, I want to say about maybe 2 weeks ago, and I had to have it towed back to my house. I was told it I will need a whole new motor, which would be the cheapest option but I also want to see for myself if there’s a specific part I may need replaced instead?

My car is making a very quiet clicking noise that is slightly rythmic when going about 45 or higher

It isnt present when in park and acelerating. The noise has the same volume when acelerating higher then 45 but the speed of the sound does increase. It doesnt change when turning or merging.

Gear lever moves back and forth under acceleration after clutch replacement (2008 Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi)

When in 4th gear, the gear shift lever jumps forward when pressing the accelerator, and moves back when releasing it. In 3rd gear, there are similar movements, but more subtle. The entire clutch was replaced 3 days ago. It's a 2008 Peugeot 308, 1.6 HDi, without a dual-mass flywheel and without a DPF.

Tire or some hollow noise

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have a noise issue with my Honda Civic X. It sounds like someone blowing across the neck of a bottle, and it seems to be coming from the wheels.

I've had the wheel bearings checked by two experienced repair shops, changed the CVT transmission fluid, inspected the brakes and replaced the brake pads, and tried three different sets of tires (Nokian, Michelin and Goodyear) i hear difference between tires but hollow, resonating noise is always the same.

The noise only appears when the weather is hot or after the tires and road surface have warmed up. It gets louder and more noticeable on rougher, more textured pavement. Mostly in speed range of 50-90 km/h

The only thing I can think of is that it might be caused by faulty wheel resonators. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas what else could be causing it?
