Noise after its been driven for a bit

Recommended Posts

Hey all

I've got a 3.0R manual wagon (BPE is it?) and for the last few months its been making a random noise

After I've been driving it for a bit when I turn sharply (as in in the driveway) it makes a clunking noise

It wont do anything after the 15-20min drive to work (city driving) but it will do it if I head out for say a half an hour drive on the open road. Could be heat related?

To me it sounds like I've got a locked dif lol

Any ideas?

Full lock turns is usually how you check for stuffed axles / cv joints - they will do it regardless of temp tho as its a mechanical thing (sloppy joint).

 

I'm just thinking out loud, could be your clutch? aka low speed, full lock - would be closer to stalling, more load on the drive-train turning at full lock etc.

 

When did you last change the tranny / diff fluid? (transaxle?).

 

I sometimes get a very slight clunking sound when I reverse in full lock out of my driveway (cold) but I think thats the AWD system and loose gravel coming into play (trying to get traction).

 

You can jack the car up and spin the wheels to feel/hear play in the bearings and c.v's etc 

 

How many km's are on the car?

 

Last idea is that it could be the power steering perhaps - lots of things make similar noises haha

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
