i have 06 MT with almost 9k miles. i just noticed a ticking or clicking from teh engine when i warm up the car. i get rattling noise when i drive or shift. but all this sound goes away when the car is fully warmed up or when i drive few distance.

any idea what it could be

THANKS

 

Check your oil level?

 

i havent checked oil level but i will after class. if im low on oil shouldnt the oil light come on?

 

Well I've tried to read a few pages through the oil consumption thread, but have been unlucky on noticing any stating their oil light came on. The one guy mentions he was running 3 quarts low, but doesn't see he got a low oil light.

 

i dont think the oil light will come on unless its VERY low..i THINK

 

I guess by the time the light comes on, your engine is running really dry.

 

ive checked the oil and its fine.

the sound seems to be coming from the bottom of the engine but not sure. i know when i take it to the stealer ship the sound will be gone cuz it goes away after a little while. man this is driving me nuts

 

ok i think i know whats wrong...

ive been readin some post here about coolant and i think this rattle or clicking sound is because i added honda coolant with dasani water. so do you guys think this is the problem?

 

Not sure, but unless its extremely loud sounds normal to me.

 

I was JUST about to post a thread about the same exact thing until I saw yours! Mine has been doing the same for the past few weeks, and started rather suddenly. I'll get a clicking/quick rattle when the car is warming up, but goes away after a few minutes.

At first I thought it was my springs creaking after I changed my suspension, but now I think my exhaust bolts may need some torquing down

 

man i thought it was my exhuast to but i had loose bolts my civic exhaust and the sound doesnt go away. imma take it to the dealer on friday. so hopefully they will know what it is

 

the rattle sound druing warm up is gone now that i got an oil change. im sure i dont have a problem with oil consumption and just needed oil change cuz it was dirty. i dont recommend 5k oil change stick with 3k.

 

my oil level is fine, but I did notice that my rattle/creaking sound only occurs under throttle.

 

most sound are normal in teh Z. its when you hear new sounds thats when you have to worry.

 

I have a similar problem, but it's only noticeable in first and second gear. When I start from a dead stop I'll hear a few clicking sounds coming from the front of the car and not the rear as previously mentioned. When I shift into second I will hear the clicking noise again. I know someone will reply that I'm not shifting properly, so here's the really strange thing - if I stay in first or second and rev out the gear a bit the clicking happens again when I let off. This leads me to believe some part of the transmission is being torqued and makes the sound.

Any ideas here?

 

Tranny !!!

 

Thanks. Needs fluid? Oil? Replacement? Just asking in general of course, if anyone's had the same problem.

 

i was low on oil or needed oil change and the sound was gone. i should go in for oil consumption test but im too lazy and i dont want to find out that i do have a problem is your car 06 or 05. get an oil change and see if the sound comes back.

 

Could be. I'm already scheduled to have an oil change this Monday. Will let the group know the outcome then.

 

tell us the outcome
