help needed got a banging noise like metal being tossed around
today my car started making a banging noise goes away then you rev it and it starts again then it could go away for 10/20 secs then come back on tick over also sounds like as if timming belt has a bit torn off and hitting plastic but if you lay underneath it you can hear it louder at sump, im thinking big ends shells so what does that entail major work if just shells, or could it be the water pump as i read someone else had trouble like me but it turned out to be his pump. I have a MY97 uk spec 96,000mls oil changed every 4000mls.
thanks
hope you can help me

I would strongly suggest that you refrain from running the engine untill someone can get to look at it for you.
as you say, it sounds louder by the sump, it could well of run a bearing, so the longer you run the engine, the more the damage continues, as all the bearing bits will be pumping round the engine, getting into all the other bearings, doing no good whatsoever.
Be sensible, get it recovered to an engine shop before it costs bigtime. as you are already facing a full engine stripdown and repair.

Damo, Noises like that are NOT good news. It's definitely not a good idea to run it again until a qualified person has put an ear to it. It may be something simple but until you get a good ear you'll only do more damage if it's serious.
I can offer advice or an ear if you are anywhere in our area. Call me if you want a no obligation chat.

Hi guys thanks for all the info, car has broken No3 shell so i have ordered main bearing, big end shells, head gasket to do rebuild im just waiting to find out if the oil pump is ok but the garage cant rebuild it for a week or so as they are that busy, car is off the road better to be safe than sorry as my last rebuild on my cav turbo cost me over £5000!!!
