civicdx08 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I need some help. My car has this horrible knocking sound that occurs when i am coasting. NOT ACCELERATING OR BREAKING. It sounds like a belt broke and is hitting stuff while it rotates but i see no broken belts. It doesn't do it while idling either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civicdx08 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 you ADD OIL you should have changed it. when your coasting do you put the car in n or you just pushing in the clutch by coasting i mean keeping a constant speed as in being in gear without accelerating.

Xeryon Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 My guess is if you drain the oil it will have significant metal in it. Bent rod, or something to that effect. The knocking may be from the rod hitting the cylinder wall. Is your car smoking out the tailpipe in any quantity or color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicdx08 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 problem solved. it seems the person that i bought the car off of didn't tighten the wheel enough so it was dangerously loose. thanks for the help though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
