Ever since I had the car at idle you here random knocking sound from engine bay anyone else have this problem

 

You guys really need to search before posting this exact question once every single month.

 

yup, please search... that's the sst clutchpacks etc chattering away.

 

Some serious chattering lol! It gets louder as you add milage on.

I do have one question, would a fluid change make a difference?

 

Though, he does use the word "random" so if it's not a regularly occurring thing, perhaps the fan clutch engaging. Do your radiator/condenser fans come on right after the knock/click?

Pay more attention to detail and come in here with better info than: "I have a knock at idle". Cold/warm engine. How often. What else is going on. Etc. Be as specific as possible, otherwise we could internet diagnose the problem as an evil gremlin that keeps hammering at the block with his evil chisel every time you think it's finally gone.

 

I have exactly that. His name is Evil Betty. He's a right little b*****d.

Its pretty bad when u dont even have to search theres a sticky about 3 post up

 

I have the same noise coming from my engine at idle..I took my car to the dealership and they said it was normal, but would order a part from japan to quiet down the noise..they said it was called a Dampner.

 

I took my car in before I knew it was normal and they had ordered an aftermarket part that they called a drive lug. They also said mitsubishi was aware of the noise and told them not to order the stock drive lug and to order the special aftermarket one. The noise went away for a little while but now its back after about 10k miles.

 

Thanks for the info guys
