Light phak phakk means its missing.Many issues can be related but start from a easy one light to get the ignition coils checked.

Have you gone for any periodic maintenance recently.

[mlitz80]

Thanks for your response. Recently I got the car checked/services around three months ago. All were good.

Sound only comes when I accelerate in D gear. It doesn't come in any other gear (P, N)

Should I go for transmission oil, gear oil change? Engine oil recently changed with oil and air filter.

What additional should I do other than coils checked?

[flyingfeather]

Cx silencer for misalignment or any crack in exhaust pipe

[mlitz80]

Noise should then come in P or N gear as well when pressing accelerator.

It is only coming in D gear and when accelerator is pressed. Without accelerator, it does come

[flyingfeather]

Worth giving a shot before opening coils or gear box

[mlitz80]

I have noticed that the sound is coming from front left side of car. Bonnet or wheel of front left side.

It only comes when car is moving in D gear and accelerator is pressed ( strange). If this is due to bad coils, then should feel jerks and in P and N gear as well. It never feels like missing. It races perfectly fine. Average is also good 14 on AC in city drive.

My Aspire 1.5PT is giving me 6-7 kmpl avg in normal drive with slight idling? Driven 25k!

Any recommended maintenance or other checks?

[car_bus2008]

need lifting jack for car which is best as i have the hydraulic one but with no cut face to assemble it underneath to raise car.

[mlitz80]

Please listen to the sound (light Pak Pak Pak Pak Pak)

Only coming when driving and pressing accelerator. When u release accelerator, sound goes off.
It doesn't come when u don't press race.
It doesn't come when car is P or N gear even if u press race.

Please listen to the sound in below attached link and help

Link is as below

Check silencer

[mlitz80]

If it is silencer, then why not coming when race is pressed in P or N gear?

[roboxx]

From where to find the following rear-windshield (roof) spoiler?

[mlitz80]

Got the silencer and coils checked. No issue found. Also no issue with wheel bearing.

Don't no what is the issue. I was informed that balancing rod or bearing of axle is making this sound. I said leave it there, don't open and replace anything for now.

Could it be balancing rod of axle? I was also told to get its wheel alignment. Sound will go off.

If the sound only comes during driving and acceleration, it is certainly related to axle. Keep driving if the problem isn’t as profound.

Just to make it clear, when going 100kmph it doesn’t vibrate until accelerator is pressed!?

[mlitz80]

Thanks for responding.

I have gone till 120 and it's not vibrating at all even if accelerator is pressed. Sound is not that much profound. I am planning to change whole axle after driving couple of more KMs.

How much would it cost to me? Any ideas

[mlitz80]

If in Karachi, can easily be found from Khalid bin Waleed market

[flyingfeather]

Yup it's definitely not silencer. Engine foundation is OK? Axle is an expensive item and I dont think it should give away in 3-4 years. I suggest you get the proper diagnosis first then change the req part otherwise it is gonna be a long list of hit and trial items.

[anarkaliantiques]

There just maybe some lose end touching the metal body, worse case is if the axle is bent was the car in any accident or hit by a bad speed bump!?

In any case I don’t think it qualifies for an entire axle replacement, there are dedicated workshops for Axle work go to one of them instead of a running workshop.

[mlitz80]

No it's never been into any accident. Car is driven very carefully. I don't know how this happened. After diagnosis I was told two things.

1. It is balancing rod of axle which is making sound
2. First get wheel alignment and then check for any sound. It could be due to bad wheel alignment.

Alignment is ok. I don't think alignment will make things better

It's not the entire axle. Just the balancing rod. It doesn't not give any sound while turning car which means end of axle are good.

I will keep driving the car, until it produces very noticeable sound.

[anarkaliantiques]

If its the Stabilizer Rod or commonly known as Z-link its a relatively cheap replacement but its a suspension component and has nothing to do with the Axle-rods which btw are coming directly from the transmission to the wheel. z-link only stabilizes the wheels during shock absorption and turning under load.
