Wassap guys, ive noticed my engine is louder tlhan usual the past few weeks, especially on idle. When I accelerate, the engine noise that I hear when im just pressing on brake is gone (obviously, but hey it could be useful info). It sounds like its from the belt? I really dont know, should it be a cause for concern? I dont know if its just me, maybe im still paranoid from when I backed up and hit my exhaust on the curb, broke the hanger, you think it misaligned it all the way up to the headers?

 

Gotta check your connections on the exhaust,you could have a pinched connection and an exhaust leak.Put her up on stands and get under it and look around.

 

Ive had a mechanic look at it already when I had my rotors grinded. If there were anything wrong with the connections he woudve seen it. Thanks for that suggestion though, anything else?

What is basic maintenance at the 15,000mile mark? I only did an oil change and tire rotation. Money is tight, but when the gentleman at the dealer told me what it was, it didnt seem like a big deal.

 

yeah I refused my 15000 as there was nothing on the car for them to check short of the oilchange.

they will not warrenty brakes so why look at them,battery is not stock,I check my own fluids and change them,rotate my own tires,so basically it is for people who have no idea about cars and that is about it,I will be damned before I pay for a guy to look at my fluids and battery and tell me thay are fine......lol

 

I think it's just a Scion thing because my box is quite loud when idle. God, and don't even get me started on how it sounds when the a/c is running when it's hot outside. Good grief.
