[QUOTE="d3mon_fx, post: 12174195, member: 99624"] [b]Identify the(engine) noise (Videos) Fixed!!![/b] [COLOR="Red"][B]UPDATE:[/B][/COLOR] Jimmy You are The f...ing man, I was going to wait till the weekend to take the belts off... 102 degrees in North TX right now, in the mean time i bought the stethoscope today. After I got home got under the car and seemed that the noise was coming from the AC compressor, turned AC on/off to get rid of the sound, got under the car really fast and after a couple of minutes BAM the compressor started to make the noise, also noticed oil around it so i guess I have a leak and the compressor is dying, thank God it the chains are good. I cant believe it took me 10 minutes and 10 bucks to find the noise which was bugging me for a month. If you ever around the Metroplex shoot me a text and I'll buy you a beer:beer: A couple of weeks ago while parking my 03 Vert a noticed this weird clanking sound. So i have some homework for you my fellow terminator owners Weird clanking sound Where: Front of engine passenger side. When: only when car is hot, the sound is not there on cold cranks. Why:[COLOR="Red"]AC COMPRESSOR FAILING[/COLOR] Notes: When I turn the A/C on the sound disappears and stays away when I turn the A/C off still gone but will reappear after a while. I showed it to a couple of my friends, one an ex Ford Tech (Transmissions mostly) and the other a mechanic with 15+ years of experience in various cars. Their first thought was the A\C clutch but they checked it and said it was good. Anyways, the Ford tech says it might be a timing chain with a broken tensioner since with heat the chain expands and hits the casing, he says that the sound might go away with the A/C on because the A\C puts a different load on the engine. The other guy says that if is the timing chain sound it should be there always even with the car cold, and thinks is a pulley going bad. What do you guys think? Below are the videos taken with my phone [URL="http://youtu.be/6ViQqCwuNZ4"]Noise sound[/URL] [URL="http://youtu.be/6ViQqCwuNZ4"] [/URL][URL="http://youtu.be/Bp7_rBlDcbE"]When I turn A/C is On[/URL] [URL="http://youtu.be/fsRADNuOe7o"]After the A/C is turned off[/URL] [/QUOTE]
