KNOCK KNOCK big ends??
YESTERDAY MORNING I NOTICED QUITE AN ANNOYING KNOCKING SOUND FROM MY ENGINE BAY
investigating under the bonnet it sounds like its coming from the middle area of the engine, i thought better check the oil and low and behold it was under the low level.
TOPPED IT UP.
the knocking sound from the same area has not gone away, have i f***ed the engine??
is it the big end?? is it the big ends in the middle on these flat fours?
while i was doing general checks i noticed one of the bolts on a coil pack had come lose so tightened it back up, could this have something to do with it??
the car is a 95 import wrx
HELP SHE SOUNDS QUITE SICK!!!!!!! sounds like something is loose...

Its hard to diagnose a noise from an engine when you carnt actually hear it ?
So if the knocks gone by putting oil in it then you may have saved the day ?
Yes the big ends are in the center of the block......
Keep your eye on your oil levels mate you may not be so lucky next time
has nobody got any ideas on this thought this was a good forum?? with lots of experiance???[/QUOTE]
