This is probably me being an idiot again, but oh well.

I'm pretty sure this noise is just a common noise, but I'm not sure what it is. There's a slight knocking noise on idle (2zz). Goes with revolutions. Alternator? Coil? It's probably nothing, but I think it sounds terrible lol. Makes it dound like a diesel if you listen closely.

could also be the AC compressor..

Northy it's so ghey, seriously. 'CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK...' ewwwww

I just want it fixed lol. Only just got the front brakes (grinding) sorted today. Fyshwick Toyota in Canberra are miles ahead of any other Toyota dealers in terms of service. They were awesome. Fair enough they didn't notice this knocking noise though. You have to have picky ears for it I reckon.

Brian's right, you shouldn't really be that paranoid...it just sounds ghey lol (the grinding that is).

There have been reports of warped rotors, get that checked. I had the guys check that for me and they greenlighted that. Was fine. So they champfered the rotors and changed the pads for me. Hasn't done much so far, no grinding at all, or squeaking.

Now, the engine noise. I reckon it is the bearing in the alternator (as stated before, cheers mate). I personally HATE the fecking sound lol. That can be changed under warranty (cheers again mate ;))

PS: Tell Brian I love him for running a 14.4 lmao

Nah I still love em. They're only small stupid problems though. At least they aren't huge...like the recall Hyundai had when they found out the weld points in the Tiburon design were wrong and caused the car to envelope like a mouse trap when you were in an even 'mild' low speed head on.

At least the motors are still decent. I love Honda as well...but if you want parts they are hard to come by sometimes. Plus they are so expensive.

I'd love a new Type S though ;)

I like the VtiR liftback civics too. Soooo many aftermarket performance and styling parts for all civics too. The projector headlights I've seen for them look crazy :o

Our cars are made in South Africa. I know a South African (who dosen't there are heaps of them living here now) and he rubbished SA build quality even on the BMW 3 series that are built there. So we are probably lucky only minor things on some cars and gees when you are driving these things at 7000+ revs expect something to fluck up or off.

As for Honda lets see how they go now they are built all over the world. All the new Civics we get are built in Thailand there quality is yet to be proven so not knocking them either.

Related to the original topic: I'm assuming you mean the mechanical noise at idle like a diesel. If so that would be the chain driven cam gears, they make more noise than a belt.

Ahhh ok. I shall see if the other guys make this noise.

I still think the bearing on the alternator is gone.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      I bought my 2006 ATX Aurion back in 2015/2016 with 160,000 KMs on the odometer. 8 years and 100,000+ KMs later, still going strong. I do a lot of preventative maintenance with regular engine oil changes. Transmission fluid has been changed and also the coolant. In that time period, I have replaced the water pump, alternator and both front and rear struts/shock absorbers. In hindsight, I have replaced brake pads much sooner than needed. Overall, future maintenance should not be expensive.

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi Reece, I've been trying to reply to this post, but for some reason the site wouldn't let me. On one of my morning walks, with my dogs, there is a Hi Lux tub sitting on the nature strip. I know nothing about it, except that I think the owner could well sell it, but hasn't. I will attach a photo for you, and if you are interested I will email you the address, if you PM me with it. Note that it is in Geelong, Victoria, maybe a good reason to visit. . Herb

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Fitting on the headlight bulb appears to be the usual twist to release and lock. Definitely do not try to brute force the removal because you will definitely break something like the headlight housing. Suggest that you use some WD-40 and have a real good look at the existing bulb using a mirror and a good light source. Then have a few wiggles attempts to loosen the existing bulb so it can then be removed. If this does not work, then time to be smart and not stubborn. Far better to pay a $15 fitting fee than the exorbitant cost to replace a damaged headlight assembly.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!
