Tapping noise coming from Engine bay

TheSpecialist · 02-03-2008, 11:20 PM

Hey guys, I have a 2006 Honda Civic DX-G Automatic and I'm noticing some unusual tapping noise coming from the engine bay. I began noticing this noise around Monday just after I started my car under temperatures that dipped as low as -30-35 degrees celsius (-26 F). This noise seems to dissipate once the car temperature reaches 5 bars and vibration from the car aren't felt anymore. Has anyone else been experiencing the same problems with their Civic. What could this problem possibly be? By the way, the oil life is at 50% (5000 km).

DO A SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this has been discussed many times, its the injectors, it is fine....

What is the weight of your oil?

There are other factors that could play into it NOT being the injectors. Go be an asshat somewhere else and give the new guy some respect.

With temps being that low, it could be other parts of the motor that are making some noise as they warm up. Someone that has experienced this in similar conditions might be more helpful.

When plastic gets that cold, it's bound to rattle somewhere. If you notice performance problems, bring it to the stealership.

I came on to this website before logging on so the search option wasnt available to me. Now that I see it, I will use it. Sorry to those of you who I upset. Thanks for your help. By the way, Im using factory oil. I believe its 5w-20.

to the OP:
dont let the that dipstick (c130) discourage you from asking questions you don't know, provided that you did do a search first and still could not find the answer.
