Grande engine noise

[pwuser16297086944]

Assalmoualaikum, been hearing this noise from my grande’s engine bay since last night after returning from a long drive, attaching a video of it during a cold start, the sound’s a bit muffled but it’s the secondary sound in the video that I’m taking about, kind of like a knocking noise, would appreciate if someone could tell me what it was and could guide me to a good mechanic in Karachi

Sounds like rod knock to me

sir please visit a workshop nearby.
it seems that VVTI is malfunctioning due to wrong engine oil. mr. irshad ahmed at jamil auto can help 0300 223 7538 is phone number.

I too think this is the VVTi cam gear.

I’m using 5w-30 shell and I’ve had the car for 2 years now but I’ll get it changed just in case. Ive been to Irshad@Jamil autos a couple of times and have had an okay experience, just that once he didn’t know where the pcv valve on my Altis 1.6 was. But I’ll still give him another try since most people on here recommend him

[askai37]

for 1.6 pcv is located behind intake manifold. u have to remove intake manifold. its 15-20 min job maximum.

Also just wanted to ask if it’s okay to drive the car to the mechanic with this issue

[supraman2jz]

Please note, most people here recommend Irshad because they have read about him, actual people with experience of Irshad are very few I believe. Trust him solely based on your judgement and by actual customer's testimony.

[sardarg]

i agree with sir @supraman2jz
not everyone can be a happy customer. he too is bit rusted but better then many who love playing with our money to gain experience. for sure we shall all be cautious with our pockets 1st The few threads i read of his work are listed here ONE TWO

Update: Alhamdulillah the issue got fixed, went to Irshad at Jamil autos who diagnosed the issue to be from the alternator which was making the noise, so got that changed and it solved my issue. Car is back to being as it was before. Thank you all for your help.
