knock

My MY18 Veloce has developed a knocking from the driverside rear suspension when going over bumps. Have had a look (as much as I can without being on a ramp) for a broken spring but can't see anything obvious. Need to get it into the garage for its 3rd year service anyway but anyone else had...

Hello Since I repaired the engine of my 33 1.7 16V, I´m having problems with it. I opened some topics here in the past but haven´t solved the problem. The problem is the engine "pings" or "knocks", doesn´t have the power it had and always works hotter them normal, and as mutch as it gets...

Got some time to investigatetoday. I Thought it was blown out bushes on the lower wishbone, or a buggered rack, but it was just a loose steering rack bolt!! It’s a common problem apparently!? The knock from left to right is gone now, I’ve felt it flopping around for a while now, when i...

When cold if I put the steering on full lock while stationary I get a knock from the steering. It will knock several time with a pronounced movement of the steering wheel. Initially thought it was a CV joint but it occures while stationary. More pronounced to the left but can also be felt to the...

Hi I need some help with my Guilietta. It has developed a quite loud knocking sound from i believe the front right wheel - the sound is coming when the front right wheel goes over imperfections in the road, but it seems like the sound is coming from the right foot well. I have recently replaced...

Hi guys! My '05 GT JTD has a knocking sound in the front when I'm going over some speed bumps, pot holes or uneven road after my ARB bushes have been changed, as if the wheels are shaking off. My upper wishbones were changed around a month ago - at the same mechanic, not an Alfa specialist but...

Hi all. '97 Ph1 2.0 TS Spider, I'm getting a knock, one solid one, like something solid metal on something else, when braking or decelerating, and very occasionally a slightly softer version of the same knock when turning right. More noticeable when driving slowly. I can get it to repeat if at...

Hi how are you? Yesterday my mechanic changed mine high tension cables with a set of beru zef 985. But the cable does not fit inside the knock sensor hole. Any suggestions? Thank you all brothers

Hello, just after some advice after breaking down. Car developed an engine knock at idle as I parked the vehicle. I’m no mechanic but it sounded like rod knock to me at the time. The engine has 100,000 miles on it and it had plenty of oil at the time. It did let out a large puff of blue smoke...

Hi, I have an 07 159 1.9 jdtm with 54k on the clock. There is a tapping / knocking noise coming from cylinder 3, ruled out Injectors, and when fuel stopped going into that cylinder the noise stopped. The noise is always there, however very quiet when the engine is cold, and gets louder as it...

As mention in the title the engine of my 2004 156 1.6TS has developed a strange high pitched tambourine like rattle at around 2k up to about 3k rpm when on a light steady throttle in the last few months. The more you press the throttle the rattle speeds up and going beyond 3k rpm it cuts out...

Help please, I have an annoying knock from my o/s rear suspension on my gt only happens when I move off or travel slowly over uneven ground. I can replicate the noise when stationary by pushing down on an open boot it was mot,d last week and has been on shaker plates and nothing. Tia.

Evening all, I think my 156 needs some attention to the steering rack, although I need to ask where about a steering rack can show signs of wear. If I wiggle the steering wheel when moving slowly, or more noticeably when stationary, I can hear and feel a massive knock coming through the floor...

Hi All, Has anyone had problems with knackered steering rack causing knocks? it happens when steering wheel is turned left or right as soon as you pull it. Sounds a bit like bad ball joint. It definitely comes from rack area as it can be felt when you touch cross joint behind pedals. Cant...

Over the last 2 weeks a loud knock has started to develop when driving over speed bumps. During this time the speed needed to cause the knock has reduced from 20 mph to around 10 mph with the local garage ( whio are excellent) ruling out snapped coil springs, loose exhaust, drop links etc...

Hi, OK apart from the two leaks in the drivers foot well and the boot and the recently fixed boot lid hing replacement I now have a few odd noises... No.1 noise is a squeak when coming on and off the accelerator and changing gear, sounds like it is coming from down by the pedals (carpet is out...

Mkay, wanna use the 3 wire knock sensors from my 166 cf2 3.0 engine on my cf3 156 2.5 v6 loom(white 2 pin female plug). Is this possible? I know the 2 wire is vsig + and vsig- where 3 wire has extra shield pin on pin 3. TIA

Hi all, Well my experience with an Alfa has been a nightmare. 1.9 JTD Alfa GT 2006 with 104k miles - driven it about 6k miles and spent £3,500 repairing her so far. I have a very strange knock, or more of a snapping sound coming from what I think is the front left wheel. I have taken it to 4...

Whoever said that driving an Alfa always has a sense of occasion was right, whenever i start it i wonder what will brake on this occasion :biglaugh: Joking aside, I have a knock / clunk noise coming from the driver's foot well every time i lift the foot off the accelerator pedal at low speed in...

Hello! I have been struggling to find what is wrong with my AR 1.8 TS. It has a rough idle and very poor power in lower RPM's, and often it twitches when driving in fifth about 70 km/h. If you drive in the second and take the foot of the gas pedal it will get at 1200 rmp and then hiccups...
