After driving your automobile for a while, you get used to how it feels and sounds. If something goes wrong, you will likely be the first to notice. This is the time to call a service department to help diagnose the problem. While you can't know immediately if a problem is an emergency, it's good to address issues as soon as they occur. This will give you the peace of mind to know you're safe. It can also prevent future damage from occurring as well.
Let's look at some of the various Honda engine noises, such as ticking and clicking, that require immediate attention from a professional at Bell Honda.Honda Accord Engine Clicking (or Ticking) Sounds
A ticking or clicking sound can come from one of many different locations on your vehicle. If the sound is coming from underneath the hood, it's time to pull over and seek attention. The engine clicking noise can be caused by a leak in your engine, a faulty oil pump, or insufficient oil in the reservoir. If you were to continue driving the vehicle, permanent damage could occur. If there isn't enough lubrication in your engine, the engine could eventually fail.
Honda Engine Knocking Sounds
Knocking inside your engine and under the hood can indicate an improper combustion flow. Some people also experience a hissing sound that's alternating with the knocking. Suppose the sound increases in frequency when you're accelerating or becomes louder. In that case, this clearly indicates that your engine has a problem. We'll look at the internal temperature of your engine, your cooling system, etc.
Honda Pilot Engine Squealing and Clicking Sounds
If your fan belt is damaged or worn out, this can result in a squealing sound from underneath your hood. We may need to apply some lubrication, but you may also need your belt replaced entirely. Immediate attention must be sought. You never want to put off service when your engine's temperature is in question. If your cooling process is compromised, you will experience a total breakdown of your vehicle in a short amount of time. Additionally, some drivers may hear a clicking noise in their Honda Pilot during acceleration, which could indicate an issue requiring immediate inspection.
If you have any questions about these engine noises, such as tapping or ticking sounds, that are a problem for your vehicle, contact Bell Honda for more information. We would be happy to talk with you a bit more, and we can schedule an appointment for your vehicle if you notice something that doesn't seem quite right.
