Most car owners have a special relationship with their cars in the same way that pet owners have a special relationship with their pets. What I mean by this is that the car owner usually knows every last single performance of their cars, deviations, habits, and trends. While most brand new cars are almost always started walking in a uniform way for other new car of the same make and model, after a while, your car started developing its own personality. This may be caused by the way you drive, which reinforces the idea that there is a special relationship between the driver and his car.
Assuming no one knows what to expect from their cars, every time something new or unusual occurs, the driver know that something might be wrong. One of the surest signs that something is wrong with your car is when you hear that you are not familiar with. The car makes all kinds of noise, but the driver must be able to distinguish the sound of the new normal. Automotive technicians do not have deep knowledge about your car that you have, so when you come to them describe the new sound, it is up to them to interpret the expertise to find the real problem.
Learning how to listen to customers describe problems with their cars, especially in the case of a new voice, a part of automotive technician training. Mechanics can not expect customers to become experts and using real, technical description of the problem. Conversely, there are some general descriptions that mechanical noise should be prepared to identify.
- Rattling, clanging and banging: Most engine problems due to lack of engine oil or engine fuel problem.
- Hard shot: If this happens when the car starts, engine exhaust may be due to a problem with the ignition key.
- Squeaky, Wheezing: sound can be caused by loose or broken belt in the machine, such as a drive belt or fan belt.
- Whistling, Hissing: Possible engine overheating, check the cooling and exhaust systems.
- Popping, Sputtering: It could be from a dirty air filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.
- Ticking, Clicking Quick: There may be a problem with the transfer of fuel from the fuel pump to the carburetor and both should be checked.
Some sounds indicate a more serious problem than others, while other voices is a common developmental car from time to time. Automotive training school has many ways to train mechanics to diagnose the problem, using a combination of simulation and description of the customer's real workshop machinery. In both cases, learning to listen is an efficient way to begin to identify the problem.
So believe your ears when I heard something coming from your car, and believe automotive technicians to know what you are talking about. Sound good?
