Bad/strange sounds after replacement engine
So I got my car back from the dealer yesterday with a new (reman) engine. It was making some weird noises, and I really dont know if they are normal for a brand new engine during the break-in period (I bought my car used, so i wouldn't know) or if I should be worried.
In particular, when I let off the gas (engine braking) at low rpm (3,000 or so) there is a "scraping" type of sound. It sounds as if there is a piece of plastic or metal being dragged under the car. It's hard to localize, and not super loud, but it's coming from the engine/transmission area. When I'm giving it even light throttle, the noise disappears completely. Any ideas? Is this not normal? I know i could just bring it back to the dealer, but die to my location and work, its a huge hassle to do that during normal working hours, so I'm trying to figure it out here first.... thanks! |
maybe a video/audio clip could help

sounds like something in the cat is loose when you lift off the gas.
|
it could be the cat or exhaust manifold, good idea. its strange, if anything it sounds like it's coming from the clutch/transmission...
OH and only happens in first and second gears, and seems to go away once the car is hot. If that helps at all.... ill try to get some sound clip |
Bring it back to the dealer and have them check it out. It happened after you got your car from the dealer, right?
