need help diagnosing strange car noises

**Bud_wiser** · August 13th, 2004 01:02 PM

I'm hearing the following from my car and I need advice on what could be causing them:

a) a strange gurgling sound when I turn off the engine. no, I'm not overheating. It's load enough to hear inside the car? A aircon defect kaya?

b) when I turn the wheel all the way to either side, i hear a squeaking, like an animal got caught under mu car or in my engine. Power steering problem kaya?

gurgling sound? yung parang "bruk grok grug grug" sound? :D hirap i describe yung sound epek ... i used to hear that sa toyota corona ng tatay ko... parang fuel overrun lang yata yun?
gas ba ride mo? naririnig ata yun pag hindi agad sumasara yung choke (yung ba tawag dun?).

as to the squeaking sound when turning... no doubt, power steering yun. Kailangan mo mag bleed or mag refill ng PS fluid mo.

imho/hth :D

LOL sorry but "gurgling" yung best term to describe the sound

Thanks, I have my PS checked. the fluid level naman is ok but maybe it just needs to bled.

...Or it could also be your timing, retarded or too advanaced can cause that same noise when shuting off your engine.

Kung may huni kang naririnig pag pinihit ang manibela both left and right, parang purring sound ng kuting. Malamang natuyuan yung PS pump ang nagkatama ang shaft sa loob. Check your whole PS assembly for evident leaks. The last guy I heard that gave the same hints had to change his PS pump.

ngcanvass ako power steering pump ysterday, (partstar n d other shops in pasay) la na daw available na ganun..puro repair kit lang daw...pwede na po kya un?san kya makakahanap ng power steering pump?

may squeaking noise din ksi ako sa manibela specially when turning to the right tapos minsan parang tight sya....minsan parang my kalampag na din ako naririnig...

Pinacheck ko sa casa, dapat dw palitan lahat tire rods, rack ends, bearing etc ko sa front wheels. ..

Sabi naman mekaniko dun sa shel, hanap nlang daw ako power steering pump, rack n end saka bearing for the right front wheel... un lang daw ang kelangan..

im confused tuloy...im tempted to bring it to shell na lang kasi super taas tlga quotation ng casa....d ko tuloy mapagawa agad....paadvise naman please.... :confused:

erratum:

...steering pump, bearing at saka rack n pin...pala..hindi rack end, ung sabi ng mechanic sa shell sa my aguinaldo highway sa cavite...i dont even know if rack n pin saka rack end is one and the same....

boss ungas, ok na kaya ung diagnosis sa shell?. dun ko nalang kaya pagawa? ..d pa kasi nagagalaw ng talyer ung car ko aside from casa...kaya lang sobrang limited budget ko ngayn plus dami ko na din naririnig horror stories sa tsikot about casa, nalilito ako tuloy...help nman..:confused:

yun gurgling sound baka sa aircon lang pag pinatay yun engine na hindi pinapatay yun aircon first. yun squeeks sa PS pump belt na pag sugad yun turn medyo harap ng bumomba. pa overhaul mo muna yun pump. may repair kit siguro para diyan.
