Thread: Help identifying noise

Yes, the link doesn't work.

does it work now?

Yes it does, but it is hard to hear anything other than engine noise until the last few seconds when the camera was down near the bottom of the door. Very hard to tell what it is - afraid I can't help you with identifying it.

thanks, it is hard to video things, other noises seem way louder than in real life, and seems to swallow that noise up somewhat.

I know what you mean. I have had a listen to it a few times and it certainly doesn't sound serious to me. Could even be something like a tappet or injector. Someone else with more knowledge of that motor may be able to help. Hope it's nothing serious.

Might help if you could keep the camera in one spot and stationary and record the same noise for at least 20 secs in that spot. With the camera moving you pick up other noises and it is hard to get a fix on the noise. If loudest from underneath try placing the camera on the ground and recording with no movement. You can also removed the engine cover to eliminate the rattle as well.

I have been able record a sound file and had a LR mechanic pick up the problem straight away so it can help.

Thankyou, ill record another tomorrow and upload it without the engine cover. Ill do a couple from different places

If you are talking about the "squish" "squish" noise , to me it suggests something to do with the drive belt as its frequency sounds too slow and regular to be anything else.
I would remove the drive belt and check the bearings of all the idlers and tensioners, alternator, Power steer, and harmonic balancer for play or roughness.
