Can anybody tell me what is causing this strange noise I sometimes here.
It does it when, I get home from work, I leave the engine standing for half hour or an hour say, then start it up to go out somewhere.
The moment I turn the key to fire her up & the engine starts, I can here what I can only describe as a TURKEY under the bonnet making its gobbling noise that dissapears after a second or two.
Sometimes it goes 'gobble..... gobble..gobble. gobble then stops, it's freakin me out!

What the hell is it!!! I hope it's not serious & no this is no joke.

Thanks for any help!

 

Doesnt sound like piston-slap.....

 

Belt slipping? Does having a/c on or off or moving the steering wheel make a difference?

Mmmmm I'm hungry now

 

Someones put a dead bird in your petrol tank?? A poultry response, I know

 

Remember, a Turkey's not just for Christmas...

Jokes aside, are you sure it's definately coming from the engine..? Reason I ask is because my passenger door seems to have a funny problem at the moment. When I turn the key to/from IGN the doors will lock/unlock -- as per my alarm settings. It sounds like the passenger side motor or linkage is a bit sticky because it whines (gobbles perhaps..?) when it's doing it (only for about 1 second though).

If you're in any doubt, another pair of ears might be handy.

Do you honestly think that humour is relevant here..? Crikey, imagine being cooped up at home with a car that has a Mynah problem for which you have no answer at present. If it was me I'd be spitting feathers and it'd be driving me quackers. Fowl cars and their pesky problems... these cars aren't cheap either. Next time peck on someone who hasn't got any issues eh.

PS. Ran out of gags.

 

Mmmmm, it's a wierd one this.....

I thought it might be a common thing.

It certainly sounds right in front of me & not to either side of the door area.

It definately sounds like a turkey to me, it's bizzare!!

It wouldn't possibly be something to do with my cambelt tensioner you dont think?

 

Outragous!


provided he hasn't bought a turkey,

in no particular pecking order:

Shock Horror....scobby has first case of bird flu.

could be the 'big hen' compliaining.

try feathering the throttle.

Sorry about these cheap,cheap, cheap remarks

you won't hear another dicky-bird from me,
I know the pecking

 

i had this solved it when i bought a new fuelpump and reg sounds like its coming from the front but if you get out the car and get someone else to do it you can hear it everytime the fuelpump primes. hope yours is a easy as mine was

cheers

I think Ive heard a similar noise,but it sounded a bit more like a frog(or a group of them).

sounds like an AC compresor/pulley noise

mine had something similar up until i got it fully serviced two weeks ago,it ended up that the timing belt was loose and rubbing off something,just caught it before it ****ed my engine up...the noise only started when the car was cold or sitting around for a while....hope this helps....

 

Better get this looked at then ASAP!

Thanks for all your help & jokes!
