There is nothing as disturbing as untimely noises from the engine block. Do not go directly to your mechanic, the concern may not be as serious as what you think. In order to well identifier the worry, we'll see the most regular noises on a Lancia Delta and where they come from.
The engine block of my Lancia Delta makes a thud
In case you are at a standstill and the engine block emits a kind of roar , there is indeed a concern. It could come from an engine block cover not well hung, which repeatedly taps on another component. It is also likely that a serious hissing sound comes from the belt. If your Lancia Delta does not emit any suspicious noise when it is stopped, but a deaf noise occurs when you are driving, the problem must most likely come from bearings and not from the engine block. Don't wait too long to get to a mechanic, it can get worse.
The engine of my Lancia Delta makes a tractor noise
Your Lancia Delta emits a airplane noise , but without having its performance. Usually it must come from a drilled or faulty exhaust pipe, not from the engine block. The noise should be louder and more serious than normal, but related to acceleration. the harder you press the accelerator, the more noise the car emits. If this is not the case and the noise does not vary with acceleration, go to your mechanic. The concern must certainly come from a component of the damaged engine block.
The engine block of my Lancia Delta makes a pan noise
The sound of a pan on a Lancia Delta is usually caused by the belt, not by the engine block itself. It is generally the accessory belt not tight enough, a damaged tensioner roller. Put a few wrenches on the belt if it is slack, or change the tensioner roller.
The engine of my Lancia Delta makes a lot of noise
In case your Lancia Delta makes a lot of noise it could usually come from two main causes. For the first, it is a thud that will come from bearings . However, it can also come from tires not inflated enough, or even too worn. If your engine block makes a lot of noise, it could also be due to a problem with fuel combustion, or exhaust perforated. Finally, it is rather exceptional that the engine block is responsible for this type of noise.
The engine of my Lancia Delta makes a clicking noise
This is a fairly common and rather scary concern. This noise of slam could arise from various parts of the engine block. However you will find below the two main ones.
- Poor combustion. And yes, poor or partial combustion could cause clicking noises. Do not embark on repairs if this is happening, go to your mechanic instead.
- In the event that this click only comes from cold, it could be due to hydraulic lifters .
- The concern could also come from pistons , rockers , etc.
Not easy to determine. Noises from the engine should be considered as signals. We advise you to go to your mechanic for a more precise check. Be careful !
