[Pyronics]

Klunk Klunk



[charger19691]

Poor little bug, I have a soft spot for these little cars, owned two of them.

[kc28]

take care of that engine these cars run forever..check teh dog housin

[sctflasher379]

wat is a rod bearing?

[IXECSTACYXI]

lol take the engine out and put a clock in noone will tell the difference until you get asked to go into gear lol

[lee5490]

About 3 miles.

[itsmacintosh]

So? How long did it run like this?

[xshjim]

motor is dead ....

[Qaiphyx]

Valve adjuster bolt may have broken off, listen to which side its coming from and pull the valve cover and make sure all the bolts are attached.

[kevinhinny]

Sounds like a push rod adjustment screw backed off and let the push rod fall out of the cup..happened to me once.

[MotelCambodia]

Sounds ok to me

[larrabeerr]

sounds like spark knock

[rsjagax]

eeeuuuhhhh your T-BELT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[Ninjatasos]

@rsjagax  this engine has not timebelt

[KiroTheGreat]

Thats def more than one spun bearing and it sounds like its got about a cup of oil in it....

[Uknowmetom]

that is the worst knock i have EVER heard. wow vw engines suck.

[veedubbb]

kid shut the fuck up dont talk when you dont know what you're talking about idiot.

[Uknowmetom]

@veedubbb yea fuck you too buddy and i highly doubt you know your shit either.

[rancheroman1961]

Too high pitched to be in the bottom end, sounds more like a dropped valve seat or a bent push rod.

[TheTractorJake]

knock, knock.

guess no ones home. haha

[LTV249]

what a gay car FAGGGGGGG

[39865ghse]

this engine is already dead

[kodak7785518]

my 92 Jetta is making the same noise but there's tiny, tiny pieces of metal in the oil when you check the dipstick, anybody have a clue what this could be?

[tristantao]

LOL!!!!!!!!

rod knock...

tiny pieces of metal = rod knock.

stop reviving the engine...

go pull it, and check it...

[Dayberry]

Motor is done for

[Magnuspire]

If you haven't already done it, an engine rebuild. if they look like metal shavings in the oil, it's a head gasket.  If they're bigger than that... kiss your internals good bye.

Again, if you haven't already.

[buddyayres]

head gasket? what head geskets? these dont have any.

[Magnuspire]

I was talking to the guy with the 92 Jetta.

[buddyayres]

o got ya now. just was a little cofused for a second

[2plus2equalsred]

you threw a rod.

[hererj]

just fit a pendulum

[rxpx69]

BIG ENDS

[stevereject420]

that sounds baaaad.

[LaZyLuke]

i bet it still drives in a highway.... beetle just immortal

[5thgear23]

Jesus H. Christ!!!! Just hold it at WOT and finish it off!

[VolkswagenTube]

lee5490 said he was going to drive it like this 10 months ago, I wonder if it is still running today?

[lee5490]

@VolkswagenTube I was joking :). I pulled the engine apart a few weeks after I shot the video. The rod bearing was toast.

[Electrictoothbrush2]

thats some serious knockin!

[deetwizzy]

sounds like a fukin clock lol

[jawbreaker480]

@deetwizzy like a gun or time clock?

[lee5490]

It was only a rod bearing. I'm going to drive it as-is with no bearing. I don't care what happens to the crank.

[masterd151]

If you drive it like that, with the spun bearing...it WILL throw a rod.

[yamahonkawazuki]

easy to replace

[danthefour]

Sounds like a big end bearing to me, open her up and replace it, or lol, get a new car ;)

[lee5490]

It's an old 40 horse. I don't care about the case. The #3 bearing was toast.

[herbienbrian]

I don't know, 40 horse cases arn't easy to come by.

[VolkswagenVMan]

Ahhh maby having the fan belt on and not having the engine melt down may be something to think about?

[lee5490]

Thanks genius.

[mitsudave]

VW diesel, right! XD

[lee5490]

yep, it's a diesel.

[73DrtSprt]

u got piston slap like a bitch!!!! turn that thing off. seems to idle fine. aahah. no it fuckin doesnt

[CaptHarvey]

turn off the damn thing! rod, rod,rod

[suzukirm80]

rod broke.. causing piston slap. are all the cylinders firing? test the compression on all four cylinders. tell me the pressure on each cylinder

[mageac]

if the rod broke , the engine would shatter...

[thingk89]

WOW

[greatrowan]

that sounds nasty...don,t think any thing can be said apart from,start saving for a new engine...but do check to see if your cylinder heads are on tight.......
